LMS History Corp trip to USS John P. Murtha
The Lenape Middle School History Corps was invited to attend the pre-commissioning events of the United States Navy's newest ship, the USS John P. Murtha LPD-26. The event took place at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia. The Lenape Middle School History Corps is made up of 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students interested in American and World history. These students interviewed members of USS John P. Murtha's crew and the ship's Captain in order to archive and preserve this historic moment in United States history.
Lenape Middle School was the only media team made up of students to participate and report on a student's perspective. They toured the ship and learned about the role of the USS John P. Murtha in our world today. The goal of the history corps is to digitally preserve our Nation's history by interviewing Veterans, Armed Service Personnel, individuals who witnessed history, and participating in historic events.
