With Memorial Day weekend approaching, we want to introduce you to one of the most meaningful corners of the Seabee Foundation website: The Final Salute.

A searchable, permanent tribute to Seabees and CEC officers who have passed — organized by era, from World War II to the present day. New entries are added as we are notified. Their names deserve to be remembered.

This Memorial Day weekend, we invite you to visit the Final Salute online to search for a fellow Seabee, honor a family member, or simply pause and read the names. And if you know of a Seabee or CEC officer not listed, reach out. Their name belongs here.

Fair winds and following seas. Can Do — always.

This week we recognized International Nurses Day — and we couldn't think of a better time to introduce Alyson Keathley, a Navy Seabee Foundation Scholar pursuing her Nursing degree at Wayne State University. Because of her father SW3 Randall Keathley's service as a Navy Seabee, Alyson earned the opportunity to follow her calling to care for others.

From the family of a Seabee who served, to the front lines of patient care, we love seeing the next generation step into service of their own.

The 2nd Annual Seabee Virtual 5K is back — and this year's shirt is something special.

July 1–7, Seabees, veterans, military families, and supporters across the country will race their way... on a trail, a treadmill, around the block, or across a base. You run it your way, wherever you are.

Now let's talk about the real reason everyone's registering early... 👇

The 2026 event shirt is a performance fabric tee in classic OD green with a bold design created by a fellow Seabee and the motto we live by: "We Build, We Fight — For Peace with Freedom." Built to wear beyond race day.

You don't have to be a runner to get one. Register as a supporter, wear the shirt with pride, and know your registration directly supports the Navy Seabee Foundation's mission.

Huge thanks to our 2026 Shirt Sponsor, Blue Trident, LLC. 🙌

👉 Register Today at Seabee5K.org

Did you know May is National Photography Month? 📷 These photos sat in a family album for more than 80 years — taken by a young Seabee serving in Guam and Saipan during WWII. His son, David Hall, recently submitted them to the Navy Seabee Foundation so his dad's story would never be lost.

A young sailor in his dress blues. The Pacific crossing. A Quonset hut going up. Rooftop construction under an island sun. These aren't just family snapshots — they're history.

That's what National Photography Month means to us. Every Seabee photo submitted to our archive is one more story saved for the next generation.

Do you have photos like these? A grandfather in uniform. A deployment album. Memories you want to remember. We want to help.

📤 Submit yours at seabee.org/support/submit-a-photo
Thank you, David, for trusting us with your father's legacy. Can Do — then and now.
