Hegseth group reprimanded at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

What did you think?

Kennedy family members have joined a lawsuit seeking to stop President Donald Trump's proposed triumphal arch near Arlington, ABC News reports. The legal challenge adds another development to the network's coverage of the president's Veterans Day visit.

Trump describes the planned monument as a dedication to veterans. ABC reports that the arch would stand 250 feet tall and shows a legal filing as correspondent Rachel Scott outlines the opposition. The segment does not report a ruling on whether construction can proceed.

The arch report follows footage of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, his wife and aides posing for photographs and laughing on steps near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. An Army sentinel interrupts with a clear instruction: "All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times."

ABC displays the Pentagon's response, which says the guard "correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum." In a subsequent report, the network says Hegseth awarded the soldier the Joint Service Commendation.
