we'll have our own barbecue.

That'll fill that north

canyon with enough hot oil...

to scorch those nips

back six generations.

Don't ride it too close.

Give yourself time to jump.

Don't worry.

I'm not taking any chances.

- Finish that.

- Aye, sir.

I want every spare machine gun you

got at the head of this canyon...

so you can rake

the whole ravine.

- But they've passed there already.

- They'll be back.

Hold your fire till you get 'em under

your guns, then let 'em have it.

The president of the

united states...

takes pleasure in presenting the services

set forth in the following citation...

for conspicuous courage and

heroism in combat at island X-371...

during June, 1942,

at which time this battalion,

greatly outnumbered and at a

great cost of their own men,

refused to give ground...

and with typical American

resourcefulness...

overturned a burning fuel tank

in the path of the enemy,

wiping out his landing force...

and thus preserving

our refueling base.

Your deeds speak

for themselves...

and will continue to do so...

from the shores

of the Pacific...

to the Arctic,

from the coasts of Europe to

the distant strands of Asia.

Memorials on which will be

inscribed, in blood and fire,

your own immortal challenge:

"We build for the fighters.

We fight for what we build."

Oh, son, how are you?

It's so nice to see you.

I'm proud of you, Bob.

Proud of all the Seabees.

Wedge was a great guy, Connie.

One of the best.

Yes, he was.

You're both great guys.

You loved him, didn't you?

I loved you both.

That might be a little difficult

to understand, but it's true.

It's not too difficult.

When the reports of the attack

came in over the teletype...

and we didn't know whether

any of you would come back...

a girl can be in love with

two men at the same time...

until that happens.

What are you trying to say?

I'm doing a very bad

job of saying...

I love you, Commander.

We're the Seabees

of the navy

We can build

or we can fight

We'll pave our way

to victory

And guard it

day and night

We'll always promise

That we'll remember

The 7th of December

We're the Seabees

of the navy

Bees of the Seven

Seas

Building

Fighting
