Not many know this, but the National Navy SEAL Museum quietly dedicated a monument honoring underwater demolition teams from as far back as World War II at Miramar National Cemetery back in August 2021.

According to a CBS 8 from then, a ceremony held at Miramar’s Memorial Walkway included appearances by Ret. Navy Chaplain Rev. Michael Shockley, SEAL Capt. Todd Perry, Ret. SEAL Warrant Officer Lance Cummings, Cemetery Director Greta Hamilton and other local dignitaries.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
