Richard goes to a meeting at an American Legion hall, where they are discussing the absence of disability benefits for those maimed in the war. A one armed veteran sees Richard and askes if he qualifies for disability. Richard replies that they deemed his injuries as not preventing him from securing gainful employment. An older soldier, Paul Sagorsky, interrupts the discussion, demanding a drink. Sagorsky then implies that the war in France wasn't a big deal, that they were fighting white men. He sees Richard looking at him and calls him "Half Moon". Richard observes all this calmly. Sagorsky is challenged by the Bartender to a fight at the amateur boxing club meeting the next night. Sagorsky then toasts the assembled veterans, calling them "fucking saps".

Richard attends the boxing match, where Sagorsky is badly beaten. After the crowd has dispersed, Richard remains with Sagorsky, looking down at him in pity. He helps Sagorsky put on his shirt and vest, and waits with him until his daughter picks him up. Richard is immediately taken with Julia Sagorsky, who thanks him and shakes his hand. After watching them drive away, Richard notices that Sagorsky has left his jacket behind. He picks it up and a medal falls out of the pocket, which Richard examines.

After finding the Sagorsky's address, Richard returns the coat and medal, meeting Julia at the door. Richard asks if Sagorsky is feeling better, Julia says he's asleep. Richard turns to go, but Julia stops him, saying she would ask him in, but her father is in one of his moods. Richard, thinking that she had not asked him in because she was uncomfortable around him, stays and chats with her awhile. Julia explains that the medal was her brother's, who died in the Argonne just before the Armistice. Julia asks if Richard has any family, Richard replies that he has a sister. Julia asks if they are close. Richard lies and says they are. Julia says that his sister is lucky to have him back.

Later that evening, Richard thumbs through some family photos, pausing at a picure of his sister and him sitting hand in hand on the porch. He flips the photo and reads the back, "Sis and Me, 1916". He props the picture up, and continues looking at it.
