This episode pulls a heart string for all veterans. It's Christmas, a homeless Korean War veteran dies wearing a coat Toby donated. (His business card was in the pocket.) Toby was not impressed with the discontent authorities displayed to the man. Toby finds the guy's brother, and arranges a veteran burial with an honor guard. Meanwhile Mrs. Lanningham reflects on the loss of her sons during the Vietnam conflict. The President calls Toby into the Oval office to confront him about an honor guard he didn't know about. Mrs. Lanningham tells Toby he shouldn't have done that, and the President asks "What if every veteran comes out of the woodwork looking for an honor guard?" Toby replies "Hopefully, they do". Mrs. Lanningham goes with Toby to the funeral, then Sorkin puts together a montage cutting between a choir at the White House with members of the staff gathering together for Christmas, and the Vet's funeral. The choir is singing "The Little Drummer Boy". The montage is very well done, and is an excellent tribute to Veterans who served this country with honor and valor. I'm a HUGE WW fan, I own all 7 seasons, watched every episode, and this is my all time favorite!
