| What Is A Field Day? | ||||||||||||||
| A
field day is a working weekend aboard the destroyer Edson, that is now a museum ship.
For many, it is like a
|
||||||||||||||
| 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
|
||||||||||||||
| join together for a weekend to socialize with one another. | ||||||||||||||
| You can sleep onboard for the 3 nights. Sleep in your old bearthing area. | ||||||||||||||
| Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be served onboard. | ||||||||||||||
| Do I Have To Have Served In The Navy To Participate? | ||||||||||||||
| 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.
