28th Annual Navy SEAL Muster and Music Festival Veterans Day Weekend 2013 | National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum

The National Navy SEAL Museum will host its annual Muster on Veterans Day weekend November 8, 9 and 10, 2013. Three days of dramatic, moving, and just plain fun activities are planned for Museum members, veterans, families and the general public.

The event has been held annually since 1985 and draws an increasingly larger crowd every year. The 2012 event attracted over 12,000 people from all over the country. With the program planning now under way, we could well exceed that number.

The Muster is an unforgettable experience and a chance to see up close the clandestine world of Naval Special Warfare. The public has a front row seat to live capabilities demonstrations. SEAL equipment and vehicles are on hand for kids to touch and climb upon. It’s a chance to talk to real SEALs and veterans from preceding units stretching back to the founding of Naval Special Warfare. Most events are free of charge and open to the public.  More info; http://navysealmuseum.com/what-is-happening-at-the-national-navy-udt-seal-museum/muster-xxviii-events-planned-for-veterans-day-weekend-2013/

Monterey to Hawaii Kayakers | Blueforce Development Corporation

On June 8, 2013, two military veterans, R.W. Hand, and Clay W. Biles set out in two tandem kayaks on an unaided kayak voyage from Del Monte Beach, Monterey, CA to Hawaii (2,200 - 2,300 miles). Their mission is to raise awareness for two of the most honorable and hard working non-profit organizations that serve our veterans; the Navy SEAL Foundation and the Wounded Warrior Project. For those that served, and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country, these veterans will be fulfilling their dreams for those that can no longer fulfill their own. Please help support them by donating to either the Wounded Warrior Project or the Navy SEAL Foundation.

Blueforce has outfitted RW and Clay with DeLorme InReach satellite trackers which send their position on a periodic interval when powered on. The map, at left, is updated as we receive pings from their trackers.
  
Please think of these men, and the men and women that serve this great nation, while they are paddling to Hawaii, and show your support. Tracking ; Monterey to Hawaii Kayakers | Blueforce Development Corporation
