在退伍军人节那天，在阿灵顿国家公墓的无名烈士墓前，一名哨兵大声要求包括国防部长皮特·海格塞斯在内的一群人保持安静。
这一事件是在唐纳德·特朗普总统早些时候举行的敬献花圈仪式上，在位于墓地的直播网络直播中捕捉到的。
在无名墓周围地区的所有游客都应该保持虔诚的沉默。美国陆军墓地哨兵在墓地保持24小时警戒，并严格执行这一命令。
在下午12：30左右发生的事件中，包括Hegseth和他的妻子Jennifer在内的一群人在墓地前的台阶上摆姿势拍照。当这群人解散时，可以听到有人在笑，这促使值班哨兵转身警告这群人。
哨兵立正，咆哮道，“所有来访者将始终保持安静和尊重的气氛。”
墓地的参观者被要求“小声说话”以便您的体验不会分散或打扰其他访问者。＂哨兵的命令将和发给任何违反礼仪的人的命令一样。
美国广播公司新闻部询问此事后，五角大楼最高发言人赞扬了这名士兵的工作。
五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔说：“部长和整个部门一直尊重并将永远尊重我们的男女军人为维护美国安全所作的牺牲。”＂在纪念这个庄严的日子时，一名士兵正确而恭敬地提醒大家保持礼仪。＂
