The Men’s Study Group Visits the Virginia War Museum

By Bob Harper

The men of the parish gathered for a group photo among the exhibits at the Virginia War Museum

The St. John’s Men’s Study Group had a field trip on Wednesday, September 30, to the Virginia War Museum in Newport News, where the Director, Michael Moore, provided a guided tour.

The group listening in the World War II gallery, beneath a sign reading The Axis Powers
A man in a white shirt and tie pointing out a large framed map on the gallery wall
Pointing out details on a long wartime map beside the Japan exhibit
The tour pausing for discussion in front of the Japan exhibit
The group following the tour along the map wall of the World War II gallery
Men spread across the gallery, looking at the exhibits
Men listening to a talk in front of framed maps and panoramic photographs
Men gathered around the speaker in front of framed maps

Our visit was preceded by a stop at the nearby Monty’s Penguin for a great breakfast, too!

All in all, a great morning for the MSG!
