2026 Memorial Day Ceremony at the Museum

Each Memorial Day, the National Navy SEAL Museum gathers at its Memorial Wall in Fort Pierce, Florida, to honor the warriors who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. This annual observance is a sacred tradition that brings together veterans, active-duty service members, Gold Star Families, supporters, and members of the community in remembrance of those who never returned home.

This year’s service included remarks from distinguished leaders; the Commemoration of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment “Night Stalkers” Memorial Walkway Bricks; the unveiling of the names of SOC Zackary W. Miller, II, SOC David A. Fegyo, and CWO3 Gary M. Garbers on the Memorial Wall; and the addition of sand to the Museum’s Living Beach in the Memorial Garden. Together, these moments ensure that the legacy of our Fallen endures for future generations.

Our annual Memorial Day Ceremony reaffirms that their sacrifice will never be forgotten, their names will continue to be spoken, and their service to our nation will forever be honored.

Fallen, Never Forgotten,
We Speak Their Names

At the Navy SEAL Museum, we are committed to preserving the history and legacy of those who have served before, ensuring future generations understand the cost of freedom. Every story shared, every artifact displayed, and every name remembered serves as a lasting tribute to those who never returned home.

This video tribute honors every fallen Frogman from World War II to present conflict. I have asked my teammates from across the nation to read these names aloud—because remembrance matters, and the sacrifice of these warriors endures.
