​Virginia compatriots celebrated our country and our national pastime at the Norfolk Tides-Durham Bulls AAA baseball game at Harbor Park, Norfolk, on Saturday, August 25, 2018.  Chris Melhuish led a color guard for the opening flag ceremony when the 12,131 in attendance sang the National Anthem.  The SAR group numbered 23 including President Sam Bass of the new Nansemond Indian Patriots Chapter, a total of 10 SAR members (7 from the sponsoring Norfolk Chapter), a prospective member, wives, and friends.  All had a great time and the Tides won in the 10th inning.  The after game fireworks were fantastic and the event provided good publicity for SAR.

     Several Members of the new Nansemond Indian Patriots Chapter helped organize and conduct the 30th Annual Nansemond Indian Pow Wow.  For two days the Nansemond Nation and friends celebrated with dance and music. Each day's celebration was begun when the Eagle Staff was paraded into the arena.  The Virginia SAR Color Guard participated in this parade to honor the Nansemond Nation and their patriot ancestors who supported the American Revolution.  The Nansemond Indian Patriot Chapter compatriots were augmented by members of the Culpeper Minutemen, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Nelson, Jr. chapters, who marched in the color guard and manned a recruiting booth for the SAR.
