During Navy Seal Jon Tumilson's funeral yesterday, his trusted canine friend 'Hawkeye' was there to guard him one last time. Bless you and your family. You will never be forgotten or thanked enough ♥ A true testament to man's best friend. As we approach the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 please dont forget those that are fighting, have fought, and will continue to fight for our freedom.


Poem Artwork

 

The flag draped coffin

Of the Navy Seal

Stands in front

Of the altar.

 

He was a young

Navy Seal, lost

In the service

Of his country

 

And at his feet

His Honor guard,

Hawkeye,

His canine companion

 Lies in mourning for

His lost companion.

This one leaves a lump in the throat ... powerfully penned sadness, Susan. :( Like the Warrior who gave all, his companion is always faithful ... well done.


(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Nice tribute Susan. They all know the price that they might be asked to pay, yet they willingly agree to risk it. Where do we find men such as these? Thank you for caring. Dick
