★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
LT Caleb King, USN '12 had Theodore Roosevelt's "man in the arena" quote as the entirety of his Lucky Bag entry. A native of Port Orange, Florida, Caleb was a mainstay of the football team as a linebacker. Call sign "Juggernaut" for his imposing stature: 6' tall, 223 pounds in his playing days.
He and his wife (Victoria Gonzales '13) spent time in orphanages in Nicaragua and on other charitable works. They had a daughter.
Caleb's older brother, Joshua, said "I've been proud of my brother for God knows how long. He had the heart and the determination to do whatever he wanted to do. He lived a very short life, but he lived a very full life."
Caleb was lost when his F/A-18 Super Hornet crashed on approach to Naval Air Station Key West on March 24, 2018. He was the weapons systems operator; his pilot was also killed.
To Honor! ⚓
