Happy Birthday to Seabees everywhere!
Happy Birthday to the Seabees!
On 5 March 1942, all Construction Battalion personnel were officially named Seabees by the Navy Department. Rear Admiral Ben Moreell gave them their motto “Construmus Batumius”, or “We Build, We Fight.”
If you know a Seabee, thank one today for their service and dedication!

#OTD: March 2nd, 1867: Colonel Jacob Zeilin, who had served as Commandant of the USMC since 1864 was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. This was a rare occasion, the first time in history in which the rank was authorized for the Marine Corps; as a result of this promotion, he became the first general officer in the Marine Corps in the 92 years since its establishment. During his time as the Commandant, he also approved the “Eagle, Globe and Anchor” as the official emblem of the Marine Corps. He previously served with honor, courage and distinction in the Mexican War during the California Campaign, including the Siege and Capture of Los Angeles. He stepped down as Commandant in 1876 (the Centennial Year), having served 49 years in uniform. In the year 1920, Destroyer No. 313, Zeilin was named in his memory, and then in 1941 the Navy transport Zeilin was also named in his honor.

Iwo Jima Newsreel
While Marines were fighting on Iwo Jima their friends and families at home received updates about the war through newsreels. Marines could send letters back home but could not say exactly where they were or what they were doing.
This is just a short clip of what the homefront would see about the battle of Iwo Jima.
Friends and family members of service members could go to their local cinemas to get the latest news about the ongoing war in the Pacific.
If you would like to see the full video, head over to the National Archives Youtube and check it out (Link below).

23 February 1945 – Iwo Jima Flag Raising 75th Anniversary
“We found a water pipe, tied the flag to it and put it up. Then all hell broke loose below. Troops cheered, ships blew whistles, some men openly wept.” – Corporal Charles W. Lindbergh
#OTD in 1945, 75 years ago, the Marines took control of Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. Onlookers cheered as the assault platoon fought to the summit and raised a small flag. Later that day, different troops raised a larger flag while others respectfully lowered the original. Several combat photographers captured these stirring events on film, but Joe Rosenthal’s snapshot of the men struggling to raise the second flag in a stiff wind became an enduring symbol of American resolve.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps has both flags raised on Iwo Jima that day in our collection. For the commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the battle and the flag raisings, visitors can see both flags on display in our WWII Gallery until March 26, 2020.
Semper Fidelis.

#OTD: 19 February 1945: D-Day at Iwo Jima. 75 years ago Marines began their amphibious landing at Iwo Jima. The battle, which would last for over a month, would go on to become one of the most famous in Marine Corps history and would produce 22 Marine Medal of Honor Recipients and 5 Navy Medal of Honor Recipients.

#MarineMonday – Col Justice M. Chambers
It's #MarineMonday! Today we will be highlighting Colonel Justice M. Chambers who received the Medal of Honor for action during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Colonel Chambers first enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve as a private in 1930 and two years later he was commissioned. In 1940, at the rank of Major, he and Washington’s 5th Battalion were called into service.
Lieutenant Colonel Chambers received the Silver Star Medal at Tulagi when he evacuated wounded soldiers and directed the night defenses while he was wounded himself. He commanded the 3d Battalion, 25th Marines in the Roi-Namur campaign. During the Battle of Saipan, Lieutenant Colonel Chambers suffered a blast concussion, but returned to his command and landed his men on Tinian.
During the Battle of Iwo Jima, Lt.Col Chambers commanded the 3d Battalion, 25th Marines. His sector during the landing was beneath enemy high ground and was determined to capture the enemy position. Losing more than half of 3d Battalion’s officers and enlisted strength on D-Day, Lt.Col Chambers won key heights and anchored the right flank of the Marines’ position. On D-Day+4, Lt.Col Chambers fell wounded to enemy machine gun fire, causing him to be medically retired and was promoted to colonel.
Col Chambers was awarded the Medal of Honor on 1 November 1950 and after his retirement, served as a staff adviser for the Senate Armed Services Committee. Col Chambers passed away on 29 July 1982 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Semper Fidelis, Col Chambers.
To learn more about Col Chambers and other Medal of Honor recipients, visit our Medal of Honor exhibit in Legacy Walk.
Col Chambers' Medal of Honor will be shown with other Iwo Jima artifacts during our Heroes Among Us event on February 22 and our Family Day event on February 23.

Recapturing the entirety of the city would take three more weeks of intense fighting, with one thousand Marines dead or critically wounded.

#OTD: February 2, 1944: The 4th Marine Division successfully captured the island of Roi-Namur, in the Japanese-occupied Marshall Islands. They were also instrumental in capturing eight other nearby islands. As this was the Marines first smashing of the Japanese outer defense, it provided both a significant moral victory for US forces and a blow to Japanese military prestige, with US forces putting the island-hopping campaign to use in advancing on the Japanese home islands. However, it also gave the Japanese time to dig in on many interior islands. The upcoming battles on Peleliu, Guam and the Marianas Islands would prove far more costly to the Marines.

#OTD: February 1, 1968: the 3rd Marine Division commenced Operation Prairie II in Quang Tri, South Vietnam.

#FamousMarineFriday: Sergeant Major John L. Canley- MOH Recipient
Born in Caledonia, AR on February 1st, 1938. While serving in the Vietnam War, then-Gunnery Sergeant Canley was detached with the 1st Battalion, 1st Marines to relieve U.S. and South Vietnamese forces under siege at Hue. Their convoy took sniper fire as they approached the city, forcing them to fight house-to-house to eliminate the enemy resistance. During the fighting Gunnery Sergeant Canley took command after the Company commander was wounded. Canley, joined by Sergeant Alfredo Cantu Gonzales, led several charges against the enemy within several buildings to flush them out and allow the convoy to move forward into Hue City. He scaled a wall twice, fully exposed to communist fire, to carry wounded Marines to safety. They fought to the besieged MACV compound, ending the enemy’s control of the building. For his actions in Vietnam he was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star Medal and the Navy Cross. In 2018, then-Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis recommended the Navy Cross be upgraded to the Medal of Honor. President Donald Trump praised Canley for his heroism and patriotism, presenting him with the Medal of Honor at an event in the White House on October 17, 2018.

#OTD in 1968: Tet Offensive, Vietnam War
30 January 1968 – Tet Offensive, Vietnam War
#OTD in 1968, a massive Communist offensive erupted across Vietnam, shattering a cease-fire announced for Tet, the national holiday. In a masterpiece of surprise, the enemy struck every Allied stronghold in the country. The Allies fought back desperately, including the Marine embassy guards in Saigon.
Most Tet attackers were quickly killed or repulsed, but the battle for the ancient imperial capital of Hue raged for 25 bloody days, flattening much of the city, including its majestic cathedral.
When ARVN troops finally overran the last NVA diehards, they found shallow graves in the city containing 3,000 civilian corpses. Communist death squads had methodically murdered anyone with an education or other “counter-revolutionary” taint. Hue, the biggest set-piece Marine battle of the war, cost 1,200 Marine casualties. Traumatized by Tet, President Johnson chose not to run for re-election that November.
Find out more about the Tet Offensive and the battle for Hue City in our Vietnam Gallery. Can’t make it in person? Check out our Virtual Experience to the tour of the Museum online: www.virtualusmcmuseum.com/Vietnam_1.asp

Mystery of the museum ghost!! There are no shortage of tales about paranormal phenomena occurring at the museum. Everything from doors closing on their own, to figures of Marines in early 19th century period uniforms staring down from second story windows. To celebrate this Halloween we thought we would share this footage captured by our security cameras in September and try to garner a consensus of who or what is on the tape. Our security cameras are motion censor activated and the footage was recorded around 4am prior to anyone arriving at the museum for work that day. Who do you think was visiting the museum so early?? Was it: A. Chesty Puller B. Dan Daley C. Smedley Butler D. James Day E. None of the Above: _____________

How would I go about finding which company my dad was in during basic training? I was hoping to order his basic training graduation picture but dont have that info. All I have is a copy of his DD214
Are there any history articles on the yellow footprints?
I’ve been talking to Marines from the 60s and 70s and they mention some near a barber shop others on a black top surface near the theater. One thing they all mention is that they didn’t land on the ones currently in use now.
I wanted to share a few pictures I took at the Battle Color Ceremony. Barbara asked that we post pictures to the page but unfortunately I can't post to this page.
Here's a link to my Google drive folder where I have uploaded a few of them for your viewing.
