Navy SEAL Killed in Iraq Was Star High School Track Athlete

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.

He's the third American serviceman to die in combat in Iraq since the U.S.-led coalition launched its campaign against the Islamic State in the summer of 2014, according to military officials.

Ducey ordered all state flags be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset Wednesday in honor of Keating, who also was the cousin of former Olympic swimming champion Gary Hall Jr.

1. Grandson of the Keating 5 Keating?

That was a scandal that crossed party lines...in fact, most of the "perps" were Dems - one of em, retired, recently endorsed Sanders.

John Glenn, Alan Cranston...names from the past. The only one still trucking is McCain.
