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 lay down by the casket of his owner during the entire service:

The 35-year-old Tumilson died Aug. 6, when a rocket-propelled grenade disabled the helicopter he was in. It crashed, killing 30 Americans and eight Afghans. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Defense Meritorious Service Medal.

“‘Hawkeye is/was his loyal ‘son’,” wrote Tumilson’s Cousin Lisa Pembleton in an email to The Blaze.  ”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.”

Fellow Navy SEALS told KIMT-TV that Jon was someone with unmatched work ethic and character.

Last week hundreds of people were out at the airport to welcome the plane that returned his remains home, video from Northern Iowa Today:

Perry Beeman of the Des Moines Register writes that Tumilson wrote a class paper when he was 15 about how he wanted to spend the next 20 years as a Navy SEAL:

“‘J.T. was going to be a Navy SEAL come hell or high water,’ friend Scott Nichols said of Tumilson, who was born in Osage on July 1, 1976, the nation’s bicentennial year, and grew up in Rockford.

Outside the service at the Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock gym, two cranes hoisted a huge U.S. flag in Tumilson’s honor.

‘If J.T. had known he was going to be shot down when going to the aid of others, he would have gone anyway,’ said Boe Nankivel, another friend.

Tumilson leaves behind parents George and Kathleen, sisters Joy and Kristie, many nieces, nephews and cousins, and of course, Hawkeye.

A relative of Tumilson wrote to the Blaze that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Frogman238 Memorial Fund, First Security Bank and Trust, 201 West Main Ave., Rockford, Iowa 50468, (641)756-3361, to honor Tumilson’s memory.

Jackie Gill stood confidently at the front of the classroom, her PowerPoint presentation cued and ready to go with slides of hormones, sperm and fallopian tubes.

“Boys and girls, are you excited that I’m here today?” she asked the giggling seventh-graders at Westview Hills Middle School in Willowbrook.

They answered loudly and in unison: “No!”

This was sent to me by one of my friends on Face book and I want to give her credit for it.

It reminded me how glad and grateful I am  that my mom didn’t kill me.

For those who think abortion is not murders you need to read this and see this photo.

You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, and I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me, were written in your book before one of them came to be. PSALM 139:13-16

Any Questions?

The following photo was sent to us by one of our watch dogs.

I have to tell you that I believe it will make you angry you as it did me.

I want to say that I am sorry for publishing this to the families who lost family members from 9/11.

I believe that all Americans need to see this and remember we must NEVER FORGET 9/11.

We must pass this around to all your friends, especially those who think that America caused this to happen.

I find it amazing that this photo, taken so many years ago, actually still exists! And now, someone has put it online for all of us to see.

This INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918.

It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge, in Iowa.

EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MEN!

What a priceless gift from our grandfathers!

I want to warn you that the following video will make you angry especially if you have children. I don’t understand how the system can give this child back to her mom, especially when she was on drugs.

After a teen mother and her ex-convict boyfriend were prosecuted for torturing her 2-year-old son by locking him in a dark closet and duct-taping his tiny body to wall because they thought it would be funny, the boy has been returned to the custody of his mother, Jayla Hamm, an 18-year-old drug user.

The media is going to tell you that there were over a million people at the gathering in Washington D.C. on 10/2/10 and they beat the Restoring Honor on 8/28/10 by a mile.

Well we have two pictures side by side and you decide who had more.

Also 8/28 had a message to bring America together no party lines 10/2 didn’t. It was made up with communist parties and union members along with groups to support the democrats.

We would like to thank Rayna Gangi who is a member of our staff.

Remember pictures don’t LIE!
