George Washington Birthday Parade is Fitting Kick-off for George Washington Chapter’s America 250 Program

(Alexandria, Virginia, Wednesday, April 5, 2023) More than 40 members from 10 chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), including 24 members of the George Washington Chapter, Virginia SAR, proudly participated in the 2023 George Washington Birthday Celebration activities held in February. The George Washington Chapter captured the Third-Place prize in the Historical Units category, while the SAR Color Guard also took the bronze in the Honor Guards and Color Guards category.

The 2023 GW Birthday Celebration Parade in Alexandria, Virginia, served as a fitting kickoff event for the chapter’s American 250 – a multi-year celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution.  Our chapter’s America 250 Committee, led by compatriot Edgar Bates, will be raising awareness of the SAR as a Patriotic Organization and reenergize America’s sense of patriotism thru a series of signature events and community outreach leading up to the premier activities in 2026.  Visit us at https://www.gwsar.org/america250 to learn more.
