An Army sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery loudly admonished a group that included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for breaking decorum, according to The Hill's report. The incident took place on Wednesday during the annual Veterans Day ceremony, when the group stopped to take photos.
The Hill reported that Hegseth was accompanied by some of his senior staff for the ceremony. The outlet's summary says the group had broken decorum, but it does not specify which of the group's actions prompted the sentinel's reaction.
The Hill's headline describes the sentinel as yelling at the Hegseth group "to maintain decorum," while the summary uses the word loudly to describe the admonishment. Both descriptions come from the outlet's own account of the event.
According to The Hill's summary, videos of the episode were shared online. The summary ends before describing those videos, so it does not report what the sentinel said, how members of the group responded, or whether any Defense Department office has commented on the incident.
Ellen Mitchell wrote the report for The Hill, which was published on Wednesday, the same day the ceremony took place. Further details about the exchange would need to come from the full article, which was not available in the summary used for this report.
