Army sentinel reprimands US Defence Secretary for conduct at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

An Army sentinel reprimanded US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and his delegation after laughter was heard during a Veterans Day event at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Hegseth, accompanied by his wife and senior aides, was chatting and taking photographs on the memorial steps when the sentinel intervened, reminding visitors to maintain silence and respect at the site. The war memorial is continuously guarded as a mark of reverence for unidentified American service members and fallen personnel.
