Guitar of Freedom, Inc. a foundation dedicated to honoring America’s heroes through music, announced a historic collaboration with the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida, culminating in the donation of an extraordinarily special instrument for auction.
Guitar to honor fallen American hero and Medal of Honor recipient, Navy SEAL Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor.
Auction proceeds of this magnificent instrument will be split evenly between two crucial beneficiaries:
v The Monsoor Family: Directly supporting the family of a Medal of Honor recipient.
v The Trident House Charities Program: The Navy SEAL Museum’s official charity, which provides crucial support for the families of Special Operators.
Petty Officer Monsoor was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his selfless actions in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006, when he threw himself onto a grenade to save the lives of his fellow SEALs. The donated "Greeny" guitar bears special appointments recognizing Monsoor’s unparalleled heroism and sacrifice, making it a unique collector's item with profound historical significance.
Since 1985, the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida has been preserving the history and heritage of Navy SEALs and their predecessors on the original training grounds of the Navy combat divers. From humble beginnings, the Museum has experienced tremendous growth, achieving national stature in 2007, and opening a sister location in San Diego, California in 2025. The mission of the National Navy SEAL Museum is to promote public education by providing the opportunity to explore Naval Special Warfare history through interactive exhibits, honor the fallen at the Navy SEAL Memorial, and care for the families of Special Operators through the Trident House Charities Program.
