A video from the Nov. 11 Veterans Day event has ignited strong reactions after showing Pete Hegseth, his wife Jennifer, and members of his team engaged in conversation and photo poses right after President Donald Trump placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Seconds after the ceremony, one of the U.S. Army sentinels raised his voice to stress that everyone must keep an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times. Hegseth, who is 46, looked back toward the guard and then continued on his way with the others.
