Charlie’s life was a reminder that true heroism is not about seeking glory or fame, but about serving something greater than oneself. C4 embodied this ethos in everything he did, from his relentless pursuit of excellence to his unwavering dedication to helping others and his family. The Live Heavy Campaign is dedicated to his memory and to raise money to support the Navy SEAL community. Please consider signing up as a CHUCK HEAVY subscriber to donate $9.99 a month to support our SEAL families for their sacrifices. They’re there for us. Let’s be there for them. Like & share!

You may have seen our ā€œBone Shakaā€ symbol and wondered about its origins. The logo was originally designed by Ian Urtnowski, founder of @urturt , for the Aloha Warrior Celebration of Life event to represent Charlie’s skills as a warrior as well as his spirit of Aloha. Charlie was known for his huge, open-mouthed grin as well as his trademark Shaka. Ian was also inspired by the SEAL Teams’ use of the Bone Frog, which represents a Navy SEAL who has been Killed in Action. It’s a sacred symbol that only those who are members of the brotherhood are allowed to wear. Ian created the Bone Shaka as a symbol that could be universally worn by anyone who wanted to feel closer to Charlie. Today, the Bone Shaka brings to life the values that Charlie embodied that are carried on through the C4 Foundations’s mission. #ChuckHeavy #C4Foundation #AlohaWarrior #C4Ranch #NavySEALs #NSW #NavalSpecialWarfare #BoneShaka #Trademark #Urt #urturt #CelebrationofLife #LiveHeavy #LLCKIV

You can love and support your spouse’s service… and still feel exhausted, lonely, or overwhelmed. Both can be true. ⁠ ⁠ Being a Navy SEAL spouse often means carrying invisible emotional weight — deployments, uncertainty, solo parenting, and staying ā€œstrongā€ through it all. But strength doesn’t have to mean silence.⁠ ⁠ The C4 Foundation is launching *The Calm Within Chaos* — a new monthly workshop series created specifically for Navy SEAL spouses.⁠ ⁠ ✨ Nervous system support⁠ ✨ Grounding & self-care tools⁠ ✨ Honest conversations⁠ ✨ Community without judgment⁠ ⁠ šŸ“ Monthly gatherings⁠ šŸ“ In-person + Zoom options⁠ šŸ“ Led by therapists who understand military spouse life⁠ ⁠ You do not have to carry it all alone.⁠ ⁠ Questions? Email [email protected]⁠ ⁠ #SEALSpouse #MilitarySpouse #C4Foundation #SEALCommunity
