by Spike Silvernail

Snowstorm

The winter storm hit the East Coast area pretty hard!  Here in Virginia conditions outside are pretty sever! We’re preparing for the launch of our Emergency Preparedness division’s ICE PACK™ Emergency Preparedness brand and thought this would be a great opportunity to run a photo contest.  The photo contest is for the best urban/rural winter weather emergency pictures in the following categories.

  • General Winter Weather Emergency
  • Highway/Roadway Traffic
  • Abandoned Vehicles

  • Rescue

PRIZES: The winning photograph in each category will win a rugged Surefire® G2 Nitrolon® Flashlight G2® Nitrolon® Flashlight available in Black, Green, Yellow and Tan from SureFire a $39.00 retail value.  This high quality flashlight will make an excellent addition to your home or vehicle emergency kit, or your personal bug out bag.

Merry Christmas

by Spike Silvernail

In our first blog post we thought it only right that we express our sincere appreciation to America’s Warfighters, past and present. Without the sacrifices made by these American Patriots we as a country would not be able to enjoy the very freedoms and liberties that they protect each and every day through their service. We also thank their families as they are fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and children that also pay a great price with that family members service. And to those Armed Services members that have made the ultimate sacrifice you are not forgotten for we are eternally in your debt.
For the past several years we’ve struggled with the inability to find Christmas Cards! You know the ones that say “Merry Christmas” and seem to be harder and harder to find every year? Well after we exhausted the limited selection of cards we could find, we turned to our friend and artist Dick Kramer. Perhaps you’ve seen Dick’s extensive collection of tactical and public safety art known throughout the world. Dick created a very nice Christmas Card for Ashbury depicting three US Armed Forces members on a mountain top in a distant land pointing to the Star of Bethlehem signifying the birth of the Christ child. (37 25′ 19.1″ N 122 05′ 06″ W)
To one and all the Staff of Ashbury International Group wishes you a blessed Merry Christmas and a safe Prosperous New Year. May god bless the United States of America and the members of the US Armed Forces.
