A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check
made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount "up to and
including my life."
Seabees gather to look back on time spent in Vietnam War
SEABEE Island X-4 By Roger LeBlancrogerral6491@gmail.com
I live in NH and I command SEABEE Island X-4 in Laconia, NH. X-4 is the only
surviving Island in NH. I'm always looking for new recruits, feel free to
join. That's why I have MCB53 on all three of my vehicles and a pocket full
of business cards. One day I saw MCB1 on one vehicle and waited for him to
come out of the store. I showed him my plate, gave him my card, and now he's
our new Chaplin. I have a regular Passenger plate, a Veterans' plate and a
Navy decal plate. We've designed a SEABEE decal plate and I presented it to
the NH DMV, they liked the idea, but it has to be approved by the NH
Legislature. They will take it up for a vote this Fall. What a great way to
spot a BEE.
Seabees gather in Somerset 24 June 2023 by Jim Donohue
A quick note and some pictures that I took when some of the Penna 53 Seabees
met this past weekend - June 24 & 25 - in Somerset, Pa. We visited the
Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pa. and some of us went to the
site/museum of the Quecreek miner rescue of 2002 where all 9 miners were
brought up alive after being trapped for 4 days. We had a great time in
anticipation of our main reunion in September at Lockport, NY. We are hoping
to post these for others to see and perhaps some of the guys in different
states may find a location or event that they may get their troops together
between reunions. The group that attended were: Jason & Mary Abell, Gary &
Renee Allison, Jim & Wendy Donohue, Dennis & Peggy Kiebach and Dennis &
Nadine Meixsell.
