Seabee History – March 5, 1942: Celebrate a Legacy with the Seabee Buckle!
On this day, Rear Admiral Ben Moreell officially designated construction battalions as “Seabees,” marking the birth of a proud tradition. What better way to honor this remarkable history than with our exclusive Seabee buckle?
Did you know there were originally two insignias? The first featured a figure with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a sledgehammer in hand, worn by Seabee units attached to the Marines. But it was Frank J. Iafrate’s iconic design—a bee in a dixie cup hat, carrying tools and a Tommy gun—that truly captured the spirit of the Seabees. This emblem has inspired over 500 variations, but ours pays tribute to the original.
Now you can wear this symbol of resilience and ingenuity with pride. Crafted with attention to detail, our Seabee buckles embodies the strength and determination of those who built and defended our nation. Celebrate the Seabee legacy and show your allegiance with a piece that tells a story. Get your Seabee buckle today and carry a piece of history wherever you go!
