Can Do! The Story of the Seabees

Meer over het boek

Emerging in the chaotic aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the Seabees were a unique group of untrained civilians who transformed into skilled construction workers in combat zones during World War II. With an average age of 35, they quickly earned respect for their ability to build vital infrastructure in challenging environments, often jokingly regarded by Marines. Their early motto, "Can Do!", encapsulated their spirit and determination as they became essential to military operations in the Pacific, shifting the focus from Marines to the Construction Battalion for critical logistical support.
