Fred wants his loaned guns, knives, and related items, returned to him by the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, Fort Pierce, Florida, "I loaned those items to the Museum in good faith, and was told I could have them back whenever I wanted". #fightforfred
Fred R Miller, UDT 22 (Class 33E) / SEAL Team 2, is a 78-year-old 100% disabled combat-wounded Vietnam Veteran awarded two Purple Hearts. He was wounded on August 24th, 1967, in the Republic of South Vietnam, leaving him with pain and aggravation since he was 23 years old.
When he separated from the Navy, he found new ways to serve and be of service to his country, including assisting in the establishment of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, Fort Pierce, Florida; a 501(c)(3) organization with a board of directors that includes former SEALs.
Forever loyal to the legacy of the UDT-SEAL, Mr. Miller loaned 38 items from his personal gun and knife collection for display at its opening Veterans Day weekend, November 10th, 1985. Providing a “professional weapons display”, he helped to set the Museum on a path to success, ensuring the Museum would be available to UDTs and SEALs for years to come.
Since then, all attempts by Mr. Miller to retrieve his loaned property have gone unfulfilled. Due to the nature of the individuals involved, Mr. Miller believed their bond was unbreakable, and he dealt with the situation directly and discretely. In June 2020, Mr. Miller entered into legal proceedings only after a member of the museum staff, a former SEAL, told him to "get a lawyer".
Support Mr. Miller by sharing his story, making sure that ALL Veterans have a voice in every battle they fight, overseas or on the home front!
