Memorial Toast to Fallen Frogmen 2023
Remembering the Brotherhood
May 28, 2023
1700 PDT / 2000 EDT
This year’s event is pre-recorded and will Premiere on YouTube Channel @frogmandown-navysealsfund and social media at 1700 PDT/2000 EDT on Sunday, May 28, 2023. A later start this year will allow more people to enjoy the program following a day of local activities Remembering and Honoring Fallen Service members.
The purpose of Frogman Down is to bring Teammates, Family, Friends, and all Great Americans from across the Country together as one to Honor and Remember those we have lost. Strengthening the bonds between Brothers builds strong families and strong communities.
Frogman Down is an annual Memorial Toast dedicated to remembering Fallen Frogmen while bringing together the Brotherhood; active duty, retired, and former UDT/SEALs with families. We are also grateful for the Navy SEAL Community supporters who join us in Honoring and Remembering Fallen Frogmen.
A National Toast closes the program where we all raise a glass together in a Toast to the Brotherhood to Honor and Remember all the men we have lost.
