KEYWORDS: military; museum; navy; seals
With Navy Seals being in the limelight now I wanted to give a plug for a local museum. Fort Pierce, Florida is considered the birthplace of the Navy Frogmen the forerunner of the Navy Seals.

The National UDT Seal Museum is located in Fort Pierce, Florida. If you ever get a chance I urge you to pay the museum a vist.

Next March hit Spring Training on the Treasure Coast and stop by the museum.

One item displayed is the blouse for SEAL granddaddy Rudy Boesch, great American and contestant from the original Survivor. 45 years service!

I hope they kept bin Laden’s head and display it in a big jar full of formaldehyde there for years to come .
They should be darn proud of that clean head shot , in the dark , under fire .

You bet, I have family living in FT. Pierce area and every year I visit them.

I've been to the SEAL museum many times and it is a great place to spend a half day.

I was in the service but what these guys do is just unreal.

Tip of my hat to the SEALS and all service folks.
