An friend sent this. This photo is famous one, He loved and respected Seabees "John Wayne" and him were good friends in fact he almost got the role in Fighting Seabees. A little fact in everyone of "John Wayne" movies that involved the Military in operations after WW II he mentioned or someone mentioned them in the Movie. Anyway this was taken at his ranch where he was made an honorary Seabee. We have Detachments at all POUTUS locations specifically Camp David, they do maintenance and act as secondary Security Force. Yes Force Protection is our job.
