Navy SEAL Petty Officer 1st Class Jon T. Tumilson’s dog, Hawkeye, lies before his master’s casket at Tumilson’s funeral services.
Tumilson was one of 22 Navy SEALs killed along with five soldiers and three airmen when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down while flying to assist a unit of the 75th Ranger Regiment, which was pinned down by enemy fire in the Tangi Valley, Sayyidabad district, Wardak province, Afghanistan, on August 6, 2011.
Seven Afghan soldiers, a civilian interpreter and a military working dog also were killed in the crash.
