The National Navy SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated sole- ly to preserving the history of the United States Navy SEALs and their predecessors. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the Museum resides on the training grounds of the original Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDU) and Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT), the Frogmen. Built to honor the men who served with fortitude and dedication, the Navy SEAL Museum first opened its doors on Veterans Day in 1985. From humble beginnings, the facility has experienced tremendous growth, achieving national stature in 2007. The main objective of the Museum remains the promotion of public education by providing the opportunity to explore the history of the Navy SEALs through interactive exhibits, while honoring the fallen at the SEAL Memorial and caring for those warriors’ families through the Trident House Charities Program. We are More Than a Museum We are building a lasting legacy. Your Support is Invaluable We are funded entirely by the donations of the benefactors. Your role is invaluable. The Trident House Charities Program oper- ates under the Museum’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, funded entirely by the generous donations of the benefactors who care for those who have served, those who continue to protect our country, and for the families who have lost loved ones to warfare and related training. Most of us do not operate on the front lines safeguarding our country’s security. We can, however, take an active role by coming alongside our nation’s warriors, helping to carry their families in their absence by providing the necessary funding. This is a different kind of service, one that is equally as important in maintaining the long-term liberty of our country. With the generosity of individuals like you, we continue to honor the sacrifices of our nation’s fearless Special Operations Forces. Trident House The Navy SEAL Museum’s Trident House is a respite home on the peaceful waterfront in Sebastian, Florida. Serving as a critical and complimentary reprieve for active duty Special Operations Forces, or for the families of U.S. Navy SEALs who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, the Trident House offers a peaceful sanctuary for those looking to reconnect and restore relationships. Family Support Family support is no small feat when it comes to supporting additional or unexpected necessities of our military. Active duty and veterans and their families have varying needs, from medical and dental costs to academic and domestic expenditures. Our program ensures funding to families who require it most, filling in the gaps where Federal funding is not available. Scholarship/ Education Program The Navy SEAL Museum, in collaboration with the Marlee Foundation, awards scholarships based on merit and academic potential to the children of Naval Special Warfare personnel. Merit is based on grade point average, test scores, class ranking, extracurricular activities, leadership positions, military service record, volunteer and community involvement, and employment as appropriate. Canine Program Partnering with Baden K-9 in Ontario, Canada, the Navy SEAL Museum has donated multiple working dogs to veterans of the Special Operations community.This unique program creates an effective platform to help veterans assimilate back into civilian life.The bond between elite operator and elite dog provides the purpose and fellowship these men require, similar to what they experienced in training and combat.
