A Heartbreaking Loss of Our Troops
#41
the saddest photo ever.

The dog of slain Petty Officer Jon Tumilson refused to leave his side during the Navy SEAL’s funeral earlier this week in Rockford, Iowa. The heartbreaking photo taken by his cousin, Lisa Pembleton, shows Tumilson’s dog Hawkeye lying by the casket.

Navy SEAL U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Jon T. Tumilson was among the 30 American troops killed August 6 when Taliban insurgents downed their Chinook helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade. At his funeral in Iowa, his dog Hawkeye paid his last respects, walking up to the casket, lying down in front of it, and heaving a sigh.

Some of them where stationed here before they took off for Afghanistan. Some seriously excellent and extremly polite guys. We just had a ceremony for them as well here at the Embassy.

Funny thing is this kind of accident seems to happen when they go on rescue missions. The last time was when they went to the rescue of Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell. Same thing!
