Ashbury was pleased to host a visit Thursday from Congressman Robert Hurt of Virginia’s 5th District. Congressman Hurt and his professional staff were briefed by Ashbury’s management team and employee’s on a variety of company programs ranging from emergency preparedness and disaster response, to current deliveries of combat equipment to the US Army and our expanding engineering Rapid Product Development Center.

The Congressman showed sincere interest and concern about the critical role that small business plays in providing quality jobs and healthcare in today’s challenging economy. Further, we were able to highlight our company’s contributions to our nations defense and on-going support of America’s Warfighters. Our sincerest appreciation is extended to Congressman Hurt for his visit. May God Bless Our Great Nation!
