Episode Description from the Publisher

During World War II, a special group of builders and fighters known as the Navy Seabees played a crucial role. Their name comes from the letters "C" and "B," which stand for "Construction Battalion." These skilled workers were responsible for building important structures like airstrips, roads, and bridges, often under dangerous conditions. They worked on islands in the Pacific Ocean and other parts of the world, helping the military move quickly and safely. The Seabees were known for their courage and creativity, always finding ways to get the job done. Their motto, "We Build, We Fight," shows their unique ability to both construct and protect. 👉 Upgrade your bedding with Quince for free shipping and 365-day returns: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.quince.com/bedtimehistory - We published our first book, Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy - Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! - 500+ YouTube Videos
