TME Looks Back
-
TME Looks Back: A Hispanic Engineer In The CBI Theater
This Hispanic Heritage Month, TME looks back at the sacrifices made by Hispanic servicemembers, recounts their contributions to our nation, and remembers their accomplishments. -
TME Looks Back: African-American Engineering Battalions in the Pacific Theaters
In the face of these challenges, Black servicemembers overcame and persevered, making valuable contributions to the war effort. During the war, more than 100 all-Black battalions contributed to everything from combat duty to medical support, reconnaissance, and of course engineering. Of the 157 separate aviation engineering battalions tasked with constructing and maintaining airfields across the world during the war, 48 of them were segregated battalions. Many of these battalions served in the Pacific or China-Burma-India theater. -
TME Looks Back: Preserving Sacred Resting Places
When SAME was founded in 1920, its charter members announced that the new Society would be founded for “no selfish ends.” It would be “dedicated to patriotism and national security.” Along with supporting the nation’s engineering needs, the Society remains dedicated to supporting the veterans and servicemembers who build, maintain, and rely on our nation’s infrastructure and all those who serve in uniform. This Memorial Day, TME looks back at the holiday’s history and how SAME members are honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
Celebrating SAME’s Centennial
SAME at 100 – A Century of Service
Take a trip back through time with our SAME at 100 timeline! Originally published in six installments in The Military Engineer over the Society’s Centennial Celebration, the SAME at 100 timeline covers the previous century of Society history—from our founding to modern day, and beyond.
Explore how the needs of the nation have changed over the last 100 years, and how engineers and the Society have evolved to meet new challenges. From world wars to environmental engineering to cybersecurity and so much more, dive into how the Society made its impact on the nation—and will continue to do so in its next century of service.
SAME Century Book
Publishing in 2021, SAME’s Century Book, The Second Century Begins: Preparing for the Future by Building on the Past is the official publication marking the first 100 years of the Society of American Military Engineers. Read a sneak peek of Chapter One, Why We Were Formed. Focusing on the early years of the Society, this chapter follows the young “association of engineers” in the years following World War I as it lays the groundwork for what would become a successful 100-year legacy of industry-government engagement and dedication to patriotism and national security.
