For our first hero workout in July, we are honoring U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operator Petty Officer 1st Class (SEAL/Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist) Jon “JT” Thomas Tumilson, 35, of Rockford, Iowa.

JT was assigned to an East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare unit and died on August 6, 2011 in Wardak province, Afghanistan of wounds suffered when his helicopter crashed. He is survived by his parents George and Kathy Tumilson, Joy and Scott McMeekan, sisters Kristie and Joy, and his dog Hawkeye.

🇺🇸 To all members of our military, past and present, and their families, thank you for your service and sacrifice. ❤️🤍💙
