On October 11, 2018 at 11:00 am a ceremony was held to honor Camp Ashby, its prisoners, personnel, and the United States Government for the care given to the prisoners of Camp Ashby while interned there.

I would like to thank everyone who came out in the support of unveiling the Camp Ashby Historical Marker.

I would also like to thank the speakers who took time to come out and speak on behalf of the research done to have the marker erected.

I was honored to have the following speakers: 

Lt. Col. Fielding Tyler, local military historian

Vice mayor Jim Wood

Delegate Jason Miyares

Matt Gottlieb, Assistant Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources

Captain William Johnson, Executive Officer for Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story

Please take time to stop in and see the marker. 

The marker is located in front of Willis Wayside Shops off Virginia Beach Boulevard.
