Bill > S5538

This bill directs the Secretary of the Navy to officially recognize specific parts of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida, as national sites honoring the elite maritime special operations forces of the United States Navy. Specifically, the legislation designates the museum's main memorial, its memorial garden and living beach, and its military working dog memorial as a national memorial, a national memorial garden, and a national K9 memorial, respectively. This recognition elevates the status of these tributes, which honor the history and sacrifices of Navy frogmen, including Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) and Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) teams, as well as the specialized dogs that served alongside them in combat.
