"The third anniversary of the 'workingest, flghtingest,' bunch of men In the nation's armed forces, the Navy Seabees, will be observed on December 28 by 240,000 officers and men of the United States Naval Construction battalions. "Born Just three weeks after the Pearl Harbor disaster, with an authorized strength of 3000, the Seabees won their spurs, at Guadalcanal and have been with the assault troops in every major American amphibious operation. They can now boaBt that they built the network of air and naval bases in the Pacific that pushed the Japs back 3000 miles; that they developed amphibius equipment and technique that helped carry the day on the African, Sicilian, Italian and Normandy beachheads. "Every commissioned Construction Battalion is either currently overseas or has completed a tour of duty; many battalions are on their second tours. Seventy-si- x percent of the Seabees are now outside the continental limits of the United States; only 9000 essential men have never seen foreign service. "As General Douglas MacArthun wrote in a letter to Seabee chief, ViceAdmiral Ben Morrell, 'The only trouble with your Seabees is that you don't have enough of them!"
