back in time. All types of volunteer labor are welcomed but electricians, welders, plumbers, carpenters, etc., are especially needed. You can alsoclean, paint, or do any of the other numerous tasks that always need to be done.Participants bunk aboardship for the duration of the field day and meals will beprovided.This invaluable program not only helps these ships in termsof maintenance and upkeep, but also provides an opportunity for the general public and veterans alike to lend a hand inpreserving history and to oin together for a weekend to socialize with one another. |

No. We have had field day attendees representing every branch of the Armed Forces: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Members of the U.S. Merchant Marine have also come aboard to lend a hand. But you really don't even need military experience to attend. Anyone with an interest in history and restoration is welcome. |
