Navy SEAL killed in Iraq was close to disgraced grandfather - The Killeen Daily Herald: Nation
The Navy SEAL killed in Iraq on Tuesday was identified as Charlie Keating IV, a former Phoenix high school star distance runner and the grandson of the late Arizona financier involved in the 1980s savings and loan scandal.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced Keating died in an Islamic State group attack near the city of Irbil.
This is big news in Ohio where the Keating family is based. The Keating family has served as a major patron of swimming and the St Xavier HS natatorium was funded by this family. That a Keating ended up in the SEALS is no surprise.
