The guest speakers were Medal of Honor recipients lieutenants Tom Norris and Michael Thornton, Congressman Patrick Murphy, H. Ross Perot and the Keynote Speaker was Adm. William H. McRaven, Commander USSOCOM (US Special Operations Command).
After the speeches the St. Lucie County Sheriff's K-9 unit put on an impressive demonstration.
That was followed by a SEAL sniper demonstration

and no one in the audience could tell where the sniper was hiding.

The final demonstration was the SEAL Tactical Enemy Apprehension.
The event was closed with the SEAL Parachute Team making another appearance.

We had expected it to be hot today, but the skies were overcast and the breeze from the Atlantic Ocean (which is only about 200 feet away) kept it very comfortable.
We then walked over to the National Navy UDT-Seal Museum.

One of the exhibits was the lifeboat from the Maersk Alabama where Capt. Richard Phillips was held hostage.

It was really crowded in the museum,

so it was hard to see some of the exhibits and take photos, but it was great that so many people attended the events today and visited the museum.
We left the museum about 1:00 and walked back to our car. By now we were getting hungry and trying to decide what we wanted for lunch.
We ended up stopping for lunch at Ay! Jalisco on 21st Street in Vero Beach. We had our usual - Mike had the beef burrito and I had the chicken burrito along with a couple of Negra Modelo beers.
We got home around 3:00 and Tinker informed us that his lunch was REALLY late. We had a good time today and the cooler weather helped.
