Published on Oct 9, 2014
Welcome to the West Wing Week, your guide to everything that's happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and beyond. This week, the President traveled to Indiana and to California, where he spoke on expanding economic opportunity for every American, addressed the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and dedicated the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial.

I was impressed at realizing that asking veterans to stand, that he recognized some might not be able to.
I couldn't catch that part toward the end where he made everyone there laugh.
