Navy SEAL Museum Announces 36th Annual Muster Keynote Speakers
Fort Pierce, Fla. – September 2, 2021 – The Navy SEAL Museum will welcome two keynote speakers for the 36th Annual Muster and Music Festival. Former US Navy SEAL Jason Kuhn and Naval Special Warfare Gold Star and Surviving Spouse Sara Wilkinson will support this year’s event held at both Pepper Park and on Museum property.
Scheduled for November 5 and 6, the Muster is an annual gathering–or “muster”-of Special Operators and other military personnel to honor our country’s veterans near Veterans Day in a family-friendly community outreach for all ages.
Jason Kuhn is a former Division 1 Athlete and Navy SEAL Sniper. He pitched for a top 25 nationally ranked NCAA baseball team prior to joining the Navy after the attacks on the World Trade Centers in 2001. In the SEAL Teams, Jason lead reconnaissance, assault and mobility teams consisting of U.S and foreign troops with deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa.
Jason is the owner of Stonewall Solutions and the creator of the nationally acclaimed Fundamentals of Winning Program, characterized by unique training that has shown proven results at corporate and community levels. His clients include industry leaders in multiple fields, municipal and federal government agencies, and leading athletic institutions across the United States.
Sara Wilkinson grew up the youngest child in a military family. Her upbringing helped her understand the stress, high cycle time of deployments, and frequent training trips, ultimately preparing her for a life married to Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson. Chad served 21 years as an active duty Navy SEAL with more than 10 deployments before he succumbed to the effects of PTSD, TBIs, and blast wave injuries; he died by suicide on October 29, 2018, leaving behind Sara and their two teenage children.
Sara has worked in the fitness industry for more than 20 years. Recruited by CrossFit, LLC., Sara is a course supervisor, and has spent almost the last decade traveling the globe committed to public speaking, upholding the standards of certification, and instilling community and camaraderie. She is committed to using her voice and story to change the narrative and numbers lost to this veteran suicide epidemic.
The two-day Muster event begins Friday, November 5 with a cash bar and live music, as well as a Membership Dinner; dinner tickets are limited with advance online purchase required. 2021 offers a Chad Wilkinson 1000X Veterans Day Hero WOD endurance event. Saturday commences with the 17th Annual Muster 5K Beach Challenge, followed by an afternoon of inspirational speakers and SEAL and canine tactical demonstrations. The outdoor venue is free of charge; discounted admission into the Museum will be offered at $10 for guests 13 and over, $5 for children 6 to 12. Visitors five-years-old and under and Museum Members are always free. Food trucks and a full bar will be onsite for those who wish to purchase food and beverages.
