Activision and the Call of Duty Endowment announced that Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter will be a playable character in the upcoming 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4' via a day-one Valor Pack DLC releasing on October 23. Carpenter, a former Marine lance corporal, received the Medal of Honor in 2014 for jumping on a grenade to save fellow Marines during a 2010 battle in Marjah, Afghanistan. The DLC supports the Call of Duty Endowment, a nonprofit focused on placing veterans into high-quality jobs. Carpenter's likeness was 360-degree scanned for the game. The article also notes other veterans who have appeared in Call of Duty games, including Florent Groberg and Chris Cassidy, as part of the franchise's ongoing support for veteran causes.
