Faithful Dog Named Hawkeye Stays Near Casket of Fallen Navy SEAL Throughout Funeral Service
Faithful Dog Named Hawkeye Stays Near Casket of Fallen Navy SEAL Throughout Funeral Service
Here is video on the funeral for Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson, who died in the chopper crash earlier this month after it was shot down in Afghanistan by Taliban fighters. Petty Officer Tumilson was buried in Iowa this week, and at the funeral, his devoted dog Hawkeye, stayed by his casket throughout the service.
Thank God for brave heroes like Jon Tumilson. His life and service is an example to us all, and we all stand on the shoulders of patriots like him who have literally given their lives for our nation.
