Arthur O. Miller 1926 - 2020

My oldest brother, Arthur, was born in El Dorado, Arkansas, in 1926, and grew up during the depression. When he was young, he and my sister Gloria did not have toys. They’d set at the kitchen table and got their lessons for school and that was the only enjoyment they had was studying. Both of them did real well in getting a good education.

After being turned down when he tried to enlist in the military after Pearl Harbor, at 16, he left home and went to Mobile, AL. He got a job in the shipyards as a welder, and he worked there until they found out he wasn’t 18, and he came home. WWII was just starting and many of his friends were joining the military for the war effort, and my brother wanted to go. But Mother and Father wouldn’t let him b/c he wasn’t old enough. Mother told my father that he better let him go and do it, because he will run away, and we’ll never see him again. They signed the papers for him to go into the Navy.

After bootcamp, he was sent to a sonar school in New York at the Brooklyn Navy Yards. And later went to his ship, the USS Tomich (DE-242). Serving aboard that ship as a sonarmen it served in the war effort by escorting convoys of cargo ships to England. While aboard that ship, my brother said an old boatswain's mate had a Mark I or Mark II Navy sheath knife, which was given to my brother, which he kept all during the war.

The unique thing about his knife, it was sharpened like a wedge razor. And it was sharp enough to shave to with. My brother spent his 18th birthday, and Christmas, aboard ship during the war. And in 1951 or 1952 he gave this knife to me. I’ve had that knife ever since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Later, my brother served in the AF during the Korean War.

I would like all of my loaned knives, and bayonets returned to me by the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum.

07/12/2023

Mr. Miller attended mediation with the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Feb 2023. We are posting about my Dad’s experience again for the first time in ten months. We were persuaded to try for mediation, that it was a good faith effort on our part, that the judge would look positively on our efforts to come to a conclusion. It resulted in what I [Sceleta] can personally only describe as “tying my hands”.

After thinking long and hard this comes down to what I stand for which is my family, the truth, and free speech. My father has been wronged, and while I respect the legal process, it’s not a game for the weak at heart. What this process has shown me is that anyone can become vulnerable. Anyone. It is so important that we take care of ourselves, even looking out for red flags with those we believe we can trust the most -even if they are Navy SEALs.

My Dad believed there was no reason for concern when he loaned items from his personal collection to Capt. Olson to open the Museum. He was told he could have his things back when he asked for them, and he did ask. Those letters and verbal requests were ignored.

When my Dad sent the written requests for the return of his items, Capt. Olson was retired and no longer held a position with the Museum. Many people still on the board of the Museum today have heard my father’s requests.

At this point, it seems to me, this is a game of who is stronger, who has more resources, who has more influence, and more power. My Dad is ONE man-a very strong man, but one person holding the line of this truth. The Museum is an institution that is being protected by people who protect the world-professionally.

By 7:30am the morning after mediation, this FB account received this friend request. It is probably unrelated, but what a coincidence to receive this message on that day, at that time.

Four years ago, I made a commitment to join my Dad in his efforts to have his loaned property returned by the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. From 1990 to 2019, all of my Father's requests to have his items returned went unfulfilled.

In 1985, my Dad, a gun collector, retailer, gunsmith, fi****ms manufacturer, and gun range owner/operator, curated a collection of fi****ms, knives, and accessories, to loan to the Museum for its opening from his own collection.

Over the last 30-plus years, he has attempted to communicate with Museum staff and Board Members about the return of his items, with no success. Additionally, the Museum has never provided any documentation to prove the legitimacy of the transfer of ownership of my father's property.

I speculate that my father's loaned property became entwined with the Museum's permanent collection around 2012 when the Museum sought accreditation with a national body like the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). As recently as 2022, the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum was listed as a "MAP Museum" with the AAM, indicating that it still hadn't achieved accreditation after 10 years. This raises questions about why a Museum recognized by the United States Congress has not achieved accreditation.

It is also curious that in 2023, the American Alliance of Museums' Accreditation Self-Study Process indicated that a museum must specify its status regarding collections: ‘ownership’ or ‘use’. This is significant because if a museum claims to 'own collections and/or manage collections belonging to others,' it must have at least 80% of its collections accessioned. “Which means legally accepting objects into the museum's permanent collection” to meet the minimum requirement for accreditation.

This suggests that the Museum may have been motivated to claim ownership of my Dad's property in 2012 to bolster its chances of accreditation. My Dad's loaned items total 37, enough to tip the balance of owned collections vs. managed collections belonging to others.

Attempts have been made by some individuals over the last four years to distance the current Museum Board and Staff from my Dad's situation, attributing it to the old guard. However, I don't share that perspective.

I've compiled a list of board members my Dad either talked to directly or who were on the board when his situation was likely discussed. Here are some of the key players:

Capt. Olson (1985 - 2020)
Balzarini (1995 - 1999)
Snyder (President BOD 2006 - 2012, Director 2012 - 2020, BOD 2003 - Present)
Winget (2003 - 2020)
Woolard (2003 - 2004, 2016 - Present)
Capt. Howard (2005 - 2012)
Stephenson (2006, 2014 - 2019)
Watts (2015 - Present)
Kaiser (2013 - Present)
McSween (2005 - Present)

In 2021, Opposing Counsel provided a list of 14 or 15 items the Museum was willing to return, but there were several discrepancies, including a suppressor that does not belong to my Dad. My Dad would like everything returned that is listed on the Receipt for Loans, in the condition in which he loaned it. If items are missing, broken, cannibalized, etc. he would like to be compensated for what amounts to the lack of care of his items while in the Museum’s possession.

We wouldn't have filed a lawsuit if the Museum had worked with my Dad on this matter anytime over the last 33 years. It appears the Museum was determined to retain my Dad's belongings at all costs, showing little regard for his contributions in the early days of the Museum. It's also frustrating that this legal battle has persisted for nearly four years. It makes me wonder if the Museum covers its own legal fees? The Museum gets anything they want from willing donors. The average cost of a lawsuit is 10k, this has gone on for almost four years…potentially the Museum has paid 30-40k in legal fees to keep my Dad’s property. What is the reason they don’t want to return my Dad’s property?

This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for my Dad's strength. He's nearly 80 years old and has spent the last 33 years trying to have his property, which he loaned in good faith, returned by the world's most elite warriors.

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". https://fightforfred.com

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.
