Our programs support our service members while they are on the front line, as they are being discharged and long after they return. Your tax-deductible donation will be immediately directed to the SEABEES programs where your support is most urgently needed.
Our mission, our stories, our volunteering dedication to give back is what a seabee lives & breathes. If your a veteran that served with the seabee community, please come join us.
In coordination with other Non-profit organizations, within our own, we lead veterans in the right direction in helping veterans with VA benefits, education, employment, and mental health. We have 22 a day and we expect success and nothing less on helping veterans tell their own story as we all have a story to tell.
We are opening initiatives on drafting operational planning with our local veteran communities an establishing programs to address any needs with the goal of bring a.better quality of lifestyle to our communities.
As we are the newest Texas seabee island (X-1) of the National Seabee Veterans of America, of course our goal would be to establish our very own post to call home as we will be meeting in different locations until then, however we are planning to set up our swarms perhaps once a quarter and build from there.
We honor our elder seabee veterans with assistances in their home projects and time to reflect on our past experiences and to share with our younger generation.
Our own local hero born and raised in Military City, USA, is BU2 Antonio Amesquita Jr. (planning & estimator) a combat veteran that was serving with NMCB-14 where he loss (7) seabee brothers from the get-go and one of them was his best friend BU2 Micheal Anderson. The other six were: SW2 (SW) Jason Dwelley, EO3 Chrisopher Dickerson, EO2 Trace Dossett, CM2 Scott Mchugh, BU3Robert Jenkins and SW3 Ronald Ginther. Countless others were also injured and all of them recipients of the Purple Heart. His long journey from Jacksonville Florida back home took about 6 years as he was moving from one DOD location to the next always trying to make it back home to his son, and family. Once home, he joined the VFW Honor Guard at post 76, and the Military Service Detachment (MSD) AT FT. SAN HOUSTON CEMETERY, and served for three years giving the ultimate salute and grieved for his loss. He has gone on to becoming a Quartermaster of a VFW post and then a co-founder of the newest VFW post 12171 in San Antonio Texas. Today he is in college with a dual degree in social psychology and architecture. Leading by example and if you can join any of these two organizations, to giving a final salute to our fallen brothers and sisters here in Military City, USA. It’s all about giving back so BZ to our own and welcome back home brother.
