Hegseth awards guard who reprimanded him at Tomb of Unknown Soldier

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has honored guard Tomas Iglesias, who reprimanded him and his aides for laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that Hegseth presented the serviceman with a commendation medal and shared photos of the award ceremony on his social media accounts.

“We love our soldiers. We value the rules. Great job, specialist. Keep it up, patriots,” the secretary wrote in his post.

Iglesias had earlier admonished Hegseth and his aides for laughing at the tomb and told them to observe the appropriate standards of conduct.
