WATCH: Guard shouts at Hegseth's group for laughing at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier admonished Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s group for laughing loudly after taking photos at the solemn memorial Wednesday. The incident happened following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Video shows the guard, known as a sentinel, yelling loudly at the group to "maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect" after one of the ladies laughed. It was not immediately clear who among the group was laughing, or why. What they're saying: Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell responded to FOX Local’s request for comment on the incident with the following statement: "The Secretary and the entire Department have always honored—and will always honor—the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe. While commemorating this solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum." LiveNOW's Andy Mac has more.
