We preserve the history and heritage of the Navy SEALs and their predecessors at the only museum in the world dedicated to these warriors, honor the fallen at the Navy SEAL Memorial, and support our Special Operations Forces families through the Trident House Charities Program. It is a great honor to serve in the capacity in which I do. After serving my country as a Navy SEAL for more than three decades, I now have the privilege of serving other SEALs and their families. My position affords me the wonderful opportunity to help educate the public by providing guests an authentic, historical experience at the Navy SEAL Museum. Additionally, the Museum is committed to giving back to its community through four major outreaches. The Trident House is a respite home on the beautiful 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 needing to reconnect and restore relationships. The Scholarship Program is an outreach in which the Museum awards academic scholarships based on merit and potential to the children of Naval Special Warfare personnel. Grade point average, test scores, class ranking, extracurricular activities, leadership positions, military service record, volunteer activities, community involvement, and employment are all taken into consideration. Family Support is another pillar of the Trident House Charities Program. This is no small feat when it comes to supporting additional or unexpected necessities our military families require. Active duty and veterans and their families have varying needs, from medical and dental costs to academic and domestic expenditures. The Family Support program ensures funding to families who desperately need it, filling in the gaps where Federal funding is not available. The Canine Program was born out of a partnership between the Navy SEAL Museum and Baden K-9 in Ontario, Canada. Together, Baden and the Museum have donated several 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 a special sense of purpose and fellowship these men require in the transition from active duty to a civilian schedule. These families rely on our help and we sincerely appreciate your generosity. Thank you for your commitment to our mission. Your unwavering support directly facilitates our ongoing success. Sincerely, Rick Kaiser, Master Chief SEAL (Ret) Executive Director
