An Army sentinel at Arlington National Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier loudly rebuked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's group for laughing on Veterans Day, in footage CNN released on Wednesday. The sentinel told visitors to keep silence and respect, and the group then continued up the memorial's steps. Video of the incident circulated widely. The tomb holds an unidentified American soldier who died in World War I and has been guarded around the clock since 1948. Hegseth was standing in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser Tami Radabaugh, after a Veterans Day ceremony at the site. Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement that a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum. TMZ reported that Parnell did not acknowledge Hegseth being part of the group. The incident came hours after House Republicans killed an impeachment resolution against Hegseth on Tuesday night, a measure initiated by Rep. Thomas Massie.
