Petty Officer Jon T. Tumilson was laid to rest Friday in Rockford, Iowa, where an estimated 1,500 mourners came to pay respects for the fallen Navy SEAL, including his dog Hawkeye. In fact, Hakeye’s loyalty to his owner at the funeral was visible, creating a heart-wrenching image as he laid down by the casket of his owner during the entire service:

Re: Amazing Pictures

Nothing too amazing here, but since dickey did it... I can't let myself be outdone by a coastie Also, I love pictures like he posted.

That last picture is the only one that needs a caption. It's Sgt. Dakota Meyers receiving the Medal of Honor flag from General Amos. Sgt. Meyers is the first living Marine Medal of Honor recipient since the Vietnam War. He's also quite the humble dude. I'm glad I got to meet him and hang around with him for a few days.
