Memorial Garden
The National Navy SEAL Museum Memorial Garden was created to replicate the botanical history of the Navy SEALs and their predecessors. As a living display of tribute, the Memorial Garden provides a place of solace and reflection for our Gold Star Families and Museum patrons. More than 1,000 flowers have been planted in remembrance of the fallen; among these are flowers representing the locations around the globe where Navy Frogmen have fought and died. More information on each flower can be located near the plant on a special marker with an individual QR code describing it and its country of origin.
Memorial Living Beach
The National Navy SEAL Museum Memorial Living Beach Twin 90 UDT Scuba Tanks contain sand from specific locations around the globe, representing the sites where Frogmen have fought, trained, bled and died. Family and friends are encouraged to collect a small amount of sand from these locations and add them to the “Beach” during the Navy SEAL Museum’s Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations. In homage to the original “Living Beach” at the Navy SEAL Monument located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the UDT scuba tanks are opened twice a year in remembrance of our SEALs and their predecessors. Long live the Brotherhood.
