Love for the day

Rico says his friend Tex also sends along this one, from The Lookout blog:

Jon Tumilson, a Navy SEAL, was one of thirty Americans killed in Afghanistan on 6 August when a rocket-propelled grenade took out a Chinook helicopter. He was mourned at a service in Rockford, Iowa, attended by 1,500 family members, friends, and Hawkeye, his dog. The Labrador retriever was such an important part of Tumilson's life that the friends and family of the San Diego resident called the dog his "son". When Tumilson's friend Scott Nichols walked to the front of the room to speak, Hawkeye followed, Today.com reports. "As Nichols prepared to memorialize his friend, Hawkeye dutifully laid down near the casket," Scott Stump writes. Tumilson's cousin, Lisa Pembleton wrote on her Facebook page: "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."

Rico says not to mention his dog...
