Guard rebukes Hegseth's group for laughing at Arlington ceremony
A guard at Arlington Cemetery reprimanded a group including US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth for laughing near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during a Veterans Day ceremony. The sentinel ordered all visitors to maintain silence and respect. Hegseth, his wife, and others were posing for a photograph when some party members briefly spoke and laughed. The incident was captured on video during official commemorations attended by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The Pentagon confirmed the soldier's reminder was correct but did not identify who broke decorum. The event followed Hegseth surviving an impeachment attempt led by a Republican congressman, with another attempt expected when Democrats gain House control.
