Charlieās 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.

You may have seen our āBone 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 Charlieās 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 Teamsā use of the Bone Frog, which represents a Navy SEAL who has been Killed in Action. Itās 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 Foundationsās mission.
