IF YOU GOT ANY CLOSER
YOU WOULD HAVE TO ENLIST
The National Navy SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated solely 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 Navy combat divers, 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 United States Navy SEALs through interactive exhibits, while honoring the fallen at the Navy SEAL Memorial and caring for those warriors’ families through the Trident House Charities Program.

The US Naval Combat Demolition Units Scouts & Raiders Monument Park
Omaha Beach, Normandy, France
The genesis and purpose of this striking Monument is summarized by two words: courage and sacrifice.
One of the most compelling chapters in the history of Navy SEALs was written in blood on the beaches of Normandy by the men of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDU) and Scouts & Raiders (S&R) on June 6, 1944. This Monument will honor their legacy of courage under fire despite taking extremely heavy losses.
The US Naval Combat Demolition Units/Scouts & Raiders Monument will provide a clear understanding of the events of D-Day and the vital contributions made by the NCDUs and S7rs to the success of the Normandy landings and subsequent liberation of France. Their courage and sacrifice will be the theme of the Monument.
“Courage is rightly considered the foremost of virtues, for upon it, all others depend.” Winston Churchill
Theater Thursday Special Feature: Theater Thursday Special Feature: A bond Unbroken
45 Years After the War, Their Bond is Truly Unbroken
In the deadly jungles of Vietnam, the Navy SEALs forged an enduring bond of friendship with their Vietnamese combat interpreter. Through brutal firefights and nighttime ambushes, Nguyen Hoang Minh fought as a member of the SEAL platoons in the Mekong Delta, and helped keep them alive. Though wounded numerous times, he never backed down or gave up the fight, and the SEALs began to feel that Minh was “one of us.”
When the Communists overran Vietnam, Minh could not get out, and the SEALs’ brave comrade was lost to them forever–or so they thought–until one Navy lieutenant’s relentless search found him. A Bond Unbroken captures their miracle reunion forty-five years in the making, and presents another side of the battle-tough, covert warrior SEALs. Their actions change Minh’s life and dramatically impact his family and the Vietnamese-American community.
See A Bond Unbroken in the Museum’s theater during Museum hours, now through October 30. (Running time 1 hour, 5 minutes.) Showtimes are as follows:
10:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 12:30 PM, 1:45 PM, 2:50 PM
