U.S. Seabees

DID YOU KNOW? The Navy organized the Construction Battalions, or "CBs," during the first days of 1942 and the name "Seabees" was quickly adopted to identify the men of the new organization. The men were mostly "construction workers" with specialized building skills. Many were well over draft age that gave up high paying war work to enlist. All lived up to their motto, "Construimus, batuimus - We build, we fight." More than 325,000 Seabees served in this vast construction force during World War II. Today's Seabees number about 11,000 active and 17,000 reserves. This 17 1/2 by 18 1/2 inch hardwood framed picture matted in 3 colors consists of a Seabee patch and a Seabee pin. Included is also a Navy postage stamp issued October 27, 1945. It features Seabee artwork and a Seabee artcard.
