“We love soldiers. We love standards. Well done, Specialist. Carry on Patriots,” Hegseth wrote in a post Thursday, sharing photographs of himself and several members of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as the Old Guard, taken during an impromptu award ceremony at the Pentagon.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” yelled Iglesias, who was guarding the tomb at the time.
But it is not clear if Iglesias was actually eligible to receive the commemoration. The Defense Department’s awards manual stipulates that only servicemembers on joint duty assignments can be awarded the joint service medal, according to a review by Military.com. Iglesias, meanwhile, was assigned to an Army regiment, according to Arlington National Cemetery.
Although exceptions are allowed (and such exceptions are at the discretion of the awarding body or, in this case, the Defense Secretary) it is not clear if an exception was approved, as a citation was not mentioned in the Pentagon’s statement provided to CNN.
In the aftermath of the interaction on Wednesday, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said that Iglesias “correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.”
