Following a wreath-laying ceremony marking Veterans Day, a group that included Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth was shouted at by a US Army sentinel to be quiet.
A guard at the Arlington National Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded a group, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, for making noise at the site during a Veterans Day ceremony. The incident occurred after the group had laid a wreath and participated in a nearby ceremony. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that the Secretary and the entire Department have always honored the sacrifices of military men and women, and the sentinel correctly reminded everyone to maintain decorum.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier memorializes unidentified American service members from World War I and later conflicts, with sentinels known for their 24-hour guard duty and guard-changing ceremony.
