Not a day goes by that we don't think of Charlie. To the world, he was Charles Keating IV-an elite Navy SEAL. But to us, he was just Charlie. A son, brother, husband, cousin, and friend who could light up a room with his laugh.
On May 3, 2016, we lost him in Iraq while he was doing what he believed in-protecting others. He died a hero.
We miss him every day, but we carry him with us. Through the work of the C4 Foundation, through the stories we tell, and through every moment where we feel his presence.
We love you, Charlie. Always. Thank you for continuing to be a bright light in all of our lives.
