Found this and thought this was a great picture, and figured I would share it.

==================================================

During the funeral of fallen Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson, his canine friend Hawkeye kept watch over him.

Tugs at the heart strings for a multitude of reasons.

That's beautiful, but it hurts... I mean, it really stings...
 
That really made my eyes water a little, and it takes a lot to make my eyes water like that.


Really sad...

Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson lay in a coffin, draped in an American flag, in front of a tearful audience mourning his death in Afghanistan. Soon an old friend appeared, and like a fellow soldier on a battlefield, his loyal dog refused to leave him behind.
Tumilson’s Labrador retriever, Hawkeye, was photographed lying by Tumilson’s casket in a heart-wrenching image taken at the funeral service in Tumilson’s hometown of Rockford, Iowa, earlier this week. Hawkeye walked up to the casket at the beginning of the service and then dropped down with a heaving sigh as about 1,500 mourners witnessed a dog accompanying his master until the end, reported CBS.

Damn ......
My thoughts exactly.

My cousin's oldest son is a platoon leader in Afghanistan. One of the men in his unit from Oklahoma where they live was laid to rest yesterday. My cousin, his mom, and my Aunt went to the funeral because Jason couldn't be there.

That hit me hard.
