Event Description:
Everyone has heard of the real-life exploits of Navy SEALs from books, movies, and newspaper headlines. Coronado was the birthplace for Navy SEALs and is still, today, a center of SEAL operations. From the early days of World War II, Navy “frogmen” in Underwater Demolition Teams trained in Coronado to clear enemy beaches for Allied landings. Later, these special operations warriors won praise from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, SEALs still train daily on Coronado’s beaches and are mainstays in the community. Soon the Coronado Museum of History & Art will present the real-life history of SEALs in Coronado. This exciting new exhibit officially opens in the Museum on Friday, May 2. Through photographs, vivid chronological displays of memorabilia and actual equipment used in special operations-- past and present--visitors will discover how the SEALs and Coronado have grown up together. An explanation of the infamous “BUDS” training every SEAL must undergo will also be given. Admission to the Museum of History & Art is $5 for adults; $3 for seniors (65 and over); free for children (15 and under). Admission for CHA members (and accompanied guests) and active-duty military (and families) is also free when valid I.D. is presented. The Navy SEAL Foundation will receive 10% of admission proceeds. For more information, visit www.coronadohistory.org or call (619) 435-7242.
