 In the first season episode "In Excelsis Deo", after reading through  the script, the Pentagon was very touched by the handling of the  story line dealing with the death of a homeless veteran of the  Korean conflict. In fact, they were so impressed that they gave the  show access to film at Arlington National Cemetery, (ANC is  administered by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington). The  Department of Defense then supplied the Marine Honor Guard and  chaplain, and set up the whole funeral. During the funeral scene,  all persons in uniform are members of the U.S. Armed Forces,  performing their actual roles in a military funeral.  Richard Schiff (qv), (Toby Zeigler) has said that it was such a  powerful and moving story, that after every take, he broke down and  cried.
