Navy Seabee Foundation

???? National Vietnam War Veterans Day ???? Today, we honor the brave men and women who served during the Vietnam War—especially our Seabees, whose skill, courage, and resilience helped build and defend critical infrastructure in one of the most challenging environments in history. From jungle airstrips to base camps, roads, and schools, Seabees answered the call with grit and determination—often under fire—living up to the motto: *"We Build, We Fight."* To our Vietnam-era Seabees: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your legacy. You paved the way for generations to follow. ?? #NationalVietnamWarVeteransDay #Seabees #WeBuildWeFight #VietnamVeterans #NavySeabeeFoundation #Gratitude #LegacyOfService #Seabees #NavySeabeeFoundation

??? Medal of Honor Day | March 25 ??? Today, we honor the extraordinary courage of America’s Medal of Honor recipients—the highest recognition for valor in combat. Among them is Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Marvin G. Shields, the first and only Seabee to receive the Medal of Honor. During the Battle of Dong Xoai in Vietnam, CM3 Shields displayed unmatched bravery—delivering supplies under fire, aiding wounded comrades, and volunteering for a dangerous assault on a machine gun bunker, despite being gravely wounded himself. He gave his life to protect others. His actions reflect the heart of the Seabee spirit: “We build, we fight.” We will never forget his sacrifice.

#HeritageMonday -- This Week in Seabee History... 61 years ago, on March 27, 1964, a catastrophic 9.2 earthquake and tsunami struck the Prince William Sound region of Alaska, causing widespread destruction. Just one day later, Seabees from Port Hueneme arrived to help. ???? They restored utilities, built a dry dock for the damaged fishing fleet, and supported the city’s recovery over the following weeks. A powerful reminder of the Seabees’ Can Do spirit—whenever and wherever they’re needed. ?? Were you there?
