Conference Flag-Protection Speaker (unnamed)

An unnamed advocate who stands during a hotel conference flag‑protection ceremony to deliver a measured, patriotic appeal. He casts civic ritual and historical precedent as moral imperatives, invoking veterans and national unity to press elected officials—most immediately President Bartlet and his staff—for alignment. He functions as a public representative of flag‑protection sentiment, transforming ceremonial language into political pressure and exposing tensions within the president's coalition by forcing staff and supporters to account for symbolic commitments in the policy sphere.
