About The Navy SEAL Museum Memorial

The National Navy SEAL Museum Memorial serves as a tribute to the courageous service of Navy SEALs and their predecessors. The only memorial dedicated solely to honoring Navy SEALs and their forerunners for their sacrifice and love of country, the Navy SEAL Museum Memorial includes a granite wall bearing the names of more than 300 Frogmen who have died in combat or training from World War II to the present day. The centerpiece of the reflective pool at the Memorial Wall is a bronze sculpture of a modern Navy SEAL combat swimmer.

Central to the Memorial is the Memorial Garden, meticulously designed to echo the botanical history of these elite warriors. The serene space offers solace and reflection for Gold Star Families and visitors alike, featuring over 1,000 flowers planted in remembrance of the fallen. Each flower is a symbolic representation of the global locations where Navy Frogmen have trained, fought, and died, with detailed markers providing information through QR codes.

Additionally, the Memorial Living Beach honors the fallen with Twin 90 UDT Scuba Tanks that contain sand from key sites around the world, symbolizing places where SEALs and their forerunners have trained, bled, and died. Sand is contributed from these sacred sites during the Museum’s Annual Memorial Day Ceremonies.

The Naval Special Warfare K9 Memorial, dedicated to the Combat Assault Dogs who have given their lives in service to the nation, was established as part of the Memorial on November 7, 2020. It honors the loyalty and sacrifice of these War Dogs.
