Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson had a very close friend in his life – his dog, Hawkeye. Tumilson, a former San Diego resident, was killed August 6 in the Chinook helicopter crash that also claimed the lives of 29 other American servicemembers. Tumilson’s funeral was on Friday in Rockford, Iowa at Rockford Senior High. Hawkeye was one of the 1,500 souls who attended. As you can see by the gut-wrenching photo on the right, Hawkeye refused to leave his master’s side during the service. The picture was taken by Lisa Pembleton, Tumilson’s cousin. Pembleton contacted Home Post with this message: Hawkeye is/was his loyal “son”. To say that Pembleton also informed Home Post that a memorial fund has been set up in Tumilson’s memory: First Security Bank and Trust
he was an amazing man doesn’t do him justice. The loss of Jon to his
family, military family and friends is immeasurable. I hadn’t planned
on taking any pictures other than with family. However, from my seat
at the funeral, I felt compelled to take one photo to share with
family members that couldn’t make it or couldn’t see what I could from
the aisile. This is that photo…

. "The BRAVE die but once." RIP shipmate. GOOD dog.
The man died ONCE for another useless war based on another useless "cause" because the US Congress doesn't have any GUTS to stand up to the Washington DC lobbyists within the REAL government of and about America: the military/industrial machine.
