WASHINGTON – Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth bestowed a prestigious medal on the U.S. Army sentinel who scolded Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers for laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier after a Veterans Day ceremony.
Hegseth invited a group of tomb's guards, known as Army sentinels, to the Pentagon on Nov. 12, and bestowed the prestigious Joint Service Commendation Medal to the soldier who yelled at him a day earlier.
"We love standards," Hegseth wrote in a post on social media. "Well done, Specialist."
