A team of retired US Navy SEALs will set out on a mission this weekend, but instead of staying hidden in the darkness of night, they'll be riding motorcycles cross-country with an important message for other Frogmen.

After four years of planning, the inaugural Twistin' the Wrist for Frogmen ride starts Saturday, March 5, in Fort Pierce, Florida, the birthplace of the Navy SEALs.

Eight former SEALs will journey to California, making stops at Harley-Davidson locations across Florida, the Gulf Coast, New Mexico, Arizona and ending at the USS Midway Museum San Diego.

"This is where we began. This is our home. This is the mothership," retired Navy SEAL Jesse Clay said from the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce.

The museum's goal is to preserve the history and the heritage of the SEALS and serve their families through the Trident House Charities Program. The motorcycle ride is designed to support the elite SEAL community and their families and raise awareness about the sacrifice SEALs endure for our freedom.

While a 3,000-mile motorcycle trek might be safer than some of their duties protecting their country, the group is spreading a critical message: how to support soldiers who return home.
