Charles Keating IV’s life was defined by courage, service, and selflessness. A Navy SEAL, he completed grueling training and multiple combat deployments, earning a reputation for fearlessness, skill, and unwavering loyalty to his team.

On May 3, 2016, while advising allied forces under heavy enemy fire, Keating placed himself in extreme danger to protect his teammates. He was mortally wounded, sacrificing his life to save others. For his heroism, he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, later upgraded to the Navy Cross.

Today we remember World War II Medal of Honor recipient 1st Lt. Victor L. Kandle.

His Medal of Honor citation reads:
"For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.

On Oct. 9, 1944, at about noon, near La Forge, France, Kandle, while leading a reconnaissance patrol into enemy territory, engaged in a duel at point-blank range with a German field officer and killed him.

Having already taken five enemy prisoners that morning, he led a skeleton platoon of 16 men, reinforced with a light machine-gun squad, through fog and over precipitous mountain terrain to fall on the rear of a German quarry stronghold which had checked the advance of an infantry battalion for two days.

Rushing forward, several yards ahead of his assault elements, Kandle fought his way into the heart of the enemy strongpoint, and by his boldness and audacity, forced the Germans to surrender.

Harassed by machine-gun fire from a position which he had bypassed in the dense fog, he moved to within 15 yards of the enemy, killed a German machine gunner with accurate rifle fire and led his men in the destruction of another machine-gun crew and its rifle security elements.

Finally, he led his small force against a fortified house held by two German officers and 30 enlisted men.

After establishing a base of fire, he rushed forward alone through an open clearing in full view of the enemy, smashed through a barricaded door, and forced all 32 Germans to surrender.

His intrepidity and bold leadership resulted in the capture or killing of three enemy officers and 54 enlisted men, the destruction of three enemy strongpoints, and the seizure of enemy positions which had halted a battalion attack."

Kandle is buried at Epinal American Cemetery, France.

We continue to honor and remember his service and sacrifice.

Drafted into the United States Army, Reynaldo Arenas entered service through the Selective Service System and arrived in Vietnam on May 19, 1968.

He served as a Combat Engineer with Company F, 52nd Infantry (LRRP), 1st Infantry Division — a unit tasked with some of the most dangerous missions of the war, operating deep in enemy-controlled territory.

On December 31, 1968, in Binh Duong Province, South Vietnam, Specialist Four Arenas was killed in action by hostile small arms fire. He was just 20 years old.

Reynaldo Arenas served as a combat engineer and LRRP soldier — roles that demanded courage, skill, and absolute commitment. His sacrifice reflects the quiet bravery of those who went where they were sent and did what was asked, regardless of the cost.

On April 14, 2004, Marine Corporal Jason Lee Dunham was on a recon mission in Iraq. Gunfire broke out nearby after an ambush on a Marine convoy. Dunham swiftly directed his squad to the scene. Under intense enemy fire, they left their vehicles and advanced on foot. Dubham's team spotted vehicles trying to flee and moved in to engage. As they closed in, an insurgent jumped out and assaulted him. Dunham fought the attacker to the ground, but spotted a grenade that had been dropped in the chaos. He yelled to alert his brothers then shielded the explosive with his helmet and his own body, absorbing the deadly blast and protecting at least two fellow Marines from certain death.

Today, my brother John Halman would have turned 76.

He was my big brother and my very first best friend.

He never got to live the life he deserved — no dreams fulfilled, no family of his own, no chance to grow old. He was killed in action May 22, 1968.

We grew older without him, and that absence never healed.
