IMPEACH HIM
Hegseth reprimanded by guard at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
12.11.2026
A US soldier reprimanded US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his advisers at a memorial on Wednesday following a Veterans Day ceremony.
Laughter could be heard from the group, which included Hegseth, his wife and several advisers, as they walked away after posing for a photo at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
A guard then loudly reprimanded the group, as seen in footage captured by CNN as part of the White House television press pool.
"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times," the guard said.
To mark Veterans Day, which honours all military veterans who have served in the US Armed Forces, Hegseth, President Donald Trump and other government officials attended the ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier marks the final resting place of an unknown soldier who was killed in World War I. A soldier assigned to The Old Guard, or 3rd Infantry Regiment, has guarded the tomb around the clock since 1948.
Hegseth has faced mounting pressure since the Republicans' heavy defeat in the US congressional elections. On Tuesday, House Republicans blocked a bid to impeach Hegseth over the Iran war.
