USN Seabee 1944!

Wow, are you really a Seabee?
My dad joined the Seabees the day after Pearl Harbor. He was in Papau, New Guinea. For 6 months he was announced Missing In Action. My mom left with 2 young boys had a nervous breakdown. Seems he was in a hospital with malaria and they found out who he was eventually. All got better and he and mom went on to have 9 more children.
I have some old photos I believe are from the seabees but no writing on back.

Wow thats awesome about your dad! The Seabees are a branch of the Navy that really get overlooked! I'm not a Seabee in real life.
I am part of a living history group who portrays WW2 to the public so that we can make them aware of the history of WW2.

Thanks!

Its just you. lol Get those eyes checked!

LOL, that could be it. Seriously though it's something about either the nose or chin but anyway.

And I won't even mention who this reminds me of.
( I notice weird things about people that remind me of other people)
((Or maybe I'm just weird))

These are wonderful photos! I really liked the B&W ones because they looked like they were taken in the era. Perhaps I can toy around with my cellphone and come up with some photos soon. I enjoy wearing my Panama hat in the spring and summer months and I just ordered a new Hawaiian shirt. Kinda influenced by my Charlie Chan novel I’ve been reading I guess lol ,
