While the soul of the Navy SEAL Museum is to educate and inspire Americans of all ages, the heart of the Navy SEAL Museum is providing life-changing care to Special Operators and their families.
The Honoring our Heroes, Inspiring America Capital Campaign will build on this legacy with a second museum in San Diego, home to the largest military community in the world and headquarters to where all Navy SEAL candidates train. This is more than museum. It’s an inspirational legacy for the entire country. We hope you will join us.
