A guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group he was with on Wednesday after some in the group were heard laughing and talking following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

The soldier reminded the group that visitors must maintain "silence and respect at all times."

The Pentagon later stated the soldier "correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum."
