Talked with CDR SEAL (Ret) Grant Mann, Executive Director Navy SEAL Museum in Ft. Pierce, Florida. Their mission is to "preserve the history and heritage of the U.S. Navy SEALS, honor our fallen and care for our families." The museum's vision "provides and educational environment for a diverse audiene of all ages via a world-class museum combining historical artifacts with the most current technology. They hope to inspire patriotism in guests for the appreication of the freedoms we enjoy." Listeners and their families can participate in the outdoor obstacle course. See the Navy SEAL Memorial wall and various exhibits outside including a Riverrine boat, a Mark V Special Operations craft and then inside they have a black hawk helicopter, the Maersk Alabama Lifeboat and a wide range of exhibitions narrating the development of what is currently our Navy SEALS program. The museum supports the Trident House Charities, donates scholarships to students from pre-k to collage, does Summer programs with local students/clubs and hosts several events throughout the year. The Navy SEAL museum will host it's annual Memorial Day program on Monday 5/27 at 9am. Listeners can get more info, make a donation or sign up to be a volunteer at www.navysealmuseum.org.
