Meanwhile, Tony is dismayed to learn that his family's involvement was limited to his great-great-grandfather being a cook for the Continental Army. He becomes determined to prove that his family played a more significant role, leading him on a wild goose chase to try and find evidence of his ancestor's bravery on the battlefield.
