弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿国家公墓无名战士墓哨兵当场提醒国防部长一行保持肃静：五角大楼称提醒正确得体
《今日美国》11 月 11 日报道，在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿国家公墓退伍军人节仪式结束后，国防部长皮特·赫格塞思与多名高级顾问前往无名战士墓参观，期间一行中有人在墓前合影时发笑，守墓哨兵当场出声提醒。哨兵喊道：「所有访客须始终保持肃静与尊重的氛围。」赫格塞思一行随即转身，当时他们正离开纪念碑，过程被电视镜头拍下。
被提醒的一行还包括赫格塞思的幕僚长里基·布里亚、副幕僚长帕特里克·韦弗、高级顾问塔米·拉达博及其妻詹妮弗·赫格塞思，报道称尚不清楚具体是哪些成员在发笑。
五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔在声明中表示，赫格塞思「与整个国防部一直尊崇、并将永远尊崇我国军人为保卫美国安全所作的牺牲」，并称「在这庄严的一天，一名士兵正确而得体地提醒在场所有人保持庄重」。
无名战士墓安葬着一名在第一次世界大战中阵亡的无名军人，由哨兵全天候守卫。赫格塞思是在总统特朗普与副总统万斯出席的退伍军人节仪式之后前往该墓，特朗普在仪式讲话中称赫格塞思在其岗位上「做得非常出色」。
Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, Virginia, Reminds Defense Secretary's Group to Keep Silence and Respect: Pentagon Calls the Reminder Correct and Respectful
USA Today reported on November 11 that after a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and senior advisers visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where some members of the group laughed while posing for pictures in front of the memorial and a sentinel guarding the tomb spoke up. "All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all time," the sentinel yelled, prompting Hegseth and the group to turn around as they were walking away from the memorial. The incident was captured by television cameras.
The group also included Hegseth's chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver, senior adviser Tami Radabaugh and his wife, Jennifer Hegseth. It was not clear which members of the group were laughing.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote in a statement that Hegseth "and the entire Department have always honored, and will always honor, the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe," adding, "While commemorating this solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum."
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is the burial site of an unidentifiable soldier killed in World War I and is guarded by a sentinel at all hours and in all weather. Hegseth visited the tomb after the Veterans Day ceremony attended by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, at which Trump praised Hegseth, saying the Pentagon chief had done a "fantastic job."
