Bro, thanks for putting this out man. My grandpa was a SeaBee but he didn't talk much about it. except plenty of tall tales, some true about waking up to find his fox hole buddy dead shot between the eyes & a few other tales. I never asked much after that . He was fighting in the Islands at age 16 or 17. This was visually informative. Do you know anything about the U.S.S. Kwajaein, or anything that'd help me understand what he went through better? That's the ship he served on back in the day.

Thank you for this video slideshow. My grandfather was a BEE during the Korean War era and sadly died July 6th, 2009 from injuries sustained from a car accident. He was the toughest guy I knew. worked 3 jobs and shoveled his own snow even in his 70s. The Seabees are forgoten bunch of heros. I hope to be one here shortly. GOD BLESS THE SEABEES PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!

Thanks for posting this. Found it while surfing the internet tonight. All the very best to you! ---Dan Bower, former EO3 in first hitch, EO2 in 2nd hitch, 1968-1972 on active duty and 1975-1981 in the Seabee Reserves. MCB 74 and MCB 128, Gitmo, Danang, Hue and Ham Tan. then MCB 26 Reserve Battalion. There is no richer history than the Navy Construction Battalions. It's something like the Peace Corps--ONLY ARMED TO THE TEETH!
