Pete Hegseth Was Reprimanded By A Soldier During A Veterans Day Ceremony
Pete Hegseth attended a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, November 11th, alongside President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other members of the administration. Following a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the defense secretary and several members of his team stopped to pose for photos near the memorial.
However, the moment took an awkward turn when a loud laugh could be heard from someone in the group, prompting a U.S. Army sentinel to turn around and loudly remind the visitors of the site’s rules.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the soldier shouted, reprimanding the group for breaking the solemn atmosphere of the memorial.
