When you turn in the quest, the following conversation occurs between Magistrate Solomon and Colonel Troteman.

Magistrate Solomon says: We're finished! I might as well call for an evacuation now and clear out Lakeshire before the orcs march.
Magistrate Solomon says: And right when we finally finished building that damned bridge! What hope is there, Xinhuan?
Colonel Troteman says: There is hope, Solomon.
Magistrate Solomon says: What hope, colonel? What could possibly save us from the impending assault?
Colonel Troteman says: He served 248 consecutive tours of duty across the First, Second and Third Wars.
Colonel Troteman says: Captured five years ago by a battalion of filthy, pig sucking Blackrocks, five clicks out from the southern DMZ.
Colonel Troteman says: Tortured and kept alive as a urinal for young orc warriors. For FIVE YEARS.
Colonel Troteman says: JOHN J. KEESHAN.
Magistrate Solomon says: Keeshan's alive? I thought he died.
Colonel Troteman says: He's alive alright, and been living like an outcast in Lakeshire for the past five months. Or hadn't you noticed? Now enough chatter. We've got people to save!

Colonel Troteman than gives the quest John J. Keeshan as the followup.
