SITREP | FEBRUARY 2021
THE SITUATION REPORT
The Museum Celebrates Black History Month
The Museum is proud to honor our Black service members, beginning with Fred "Tiz" Morrison, the "King of Frogmen."

Against all odds and despite discrimination and segregation, Tiz joined the Navy in 1944 to fight for his country during WWII. He was ordered to an all-Black base company of 200 men, but as the war raged on, an urgent need for Underwater Demolition Team members prompted a call for sailors to UDT. Tiz was one of only six men out of 115 who completed the rigorous training.

The Friendly Fire Podcast
Our Friendly Fire Podcast has been garnering a lot of attention lately. Are you a listener?

The podcast where two old military friends–with often opposing opinions– come together to lob friendly grenades at each other about current events–and still part as friends.

The Friendly Fire Podcast is cohosted by the Museum’s Chief Operating Officer, Rick Kaiser, retired Navy SEAL Master Chief, and Tim Nichols, retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel and current professor at Duke University; Tim joins the conversation from his home base in North Carolina.

Find us on Apple Podcasts or our website.
