inothernews: “Hawkeye is/was his loyal ‘son’. To say that 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 aisle. This is that photo.” — LISA PEMBLETON, cousin of Petty Officer Jon Tumilson, one of 38 people killed when the military helicopter he was on was shot down by Taliban militants during a rescue mission in Afghanistan earlier this month.  The above photo, taken by Ms. Pembleton, shows Tumilson’s faithful pet, Hawkeye, laying on the floor in front of the Navy SEAL’s casket at his funeral.
