Military life left little time for Capt. Christopher J. Kenny to spend with family, but he felt the sacrifice was worth it, his father-in-law said. "Chris was doing what he really loved," Mickey Lantz said. "... He just felt like he was going to be able to serve his country real well." The 32-year-old from Miami died May 3 when his vehicle flipped over in a canal in Balad, Iraq. He was stationed in Vilseck, Germany. The soldier followed his father into the military. "It was always in his blood," said Jim Kenny, a retired Air Force master sergeant who completed four tours of duty in Vietnam. The 1993 Citadel graduate met Mitzy Lantz while working as a bartender. He joined the Army shortly after their wedding in 2000. The couple had no children but were "really looking forward to starting a family," Mickey Lantz said.
