What's a
Field Day?
A Field Day is a working weekend aboard a destroyer that is now a museum.
For
many, it is like a chance to go back in time.
All types of volunteer labor are welcome
but electricians, welders, plumbers,
carpenters, etc., are especially needed.
Others can clean or paint or do any of
the other tasks that always need to be done.
