More than 1,000 sailors aboard the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman spent time Wednesday working throughout Hampton Roads as part of a community service day.

The Truman sailors joined nine local organizations Wednesday as they participate in projects to help clean up and beautify area attractions and other locations.

The sites include Norfolk Botanical Garden, Nauticus, Portsmouth parks and recreation and city libraries in Norfolk.

The service day is just the first for the Truman sailors. Every month, one day will be set aside for community service.
