On Friday, a special event took place in the Rose Garden at the White House to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the hit TV show 'The West Wing.' First Lady Jill Biden invited the cast of the show, including Martin Sheen, who played President Jed Bartlet, to participate in the celebration.
During the event, Martin Sheen delivered a passionate speech, urging the audience to find a cause worth fighting for. He emphasized the importance of unity and perseverance in working towards a common goal.
'The West Wing' has remained a beloved show among individuals working in Washington, regardless of their political affiliations. Members of Congress, such as House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul and former Congressman Joe Walsh, were among the attendees at the event.
The celebration featured various nods to the show, including the U.S. Marine Band playing the theme song, references to iconic moments from the series, and cocktails inspired by memorable scenes.
Following Sheen's address, the show's creator, Aaron Sorkin, acknowledged the cast members present, highlighting their contributions to the show. Some cast members, such as Richard Schiff, Janel Moloney, and Dulé Hill, were in attendance, while others, like Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, and Rob Lowe, were unable to join due to other commitments.
The event concluded with a light-hearted moment when First Lady Jill Biden jokingly remarked that some of the cast members were not yet unemployed, eliciting laughter from the audience.
