The Minnesota National Guard assisted their North Dakota National Guard neighbors in their flood response effort in Minot, N.D., July 6. The Minnesota National Guard will conduct levee patrols, man traffic control points, and ready quick reaction forces over the next four weeks giving some relief to hundreds of North Dakota National Guard soldiers and airmen who have been on active duty for 40-60 days. The Minnesota soldiers are from the Willmar-based 682nd Engineering Battalion and the 1st Battalion, 151st Field Artillery from Montevideo. Spc. Benjamin Kuhns (left), from Burnsville, Minn., and Spc. Justin Stokes, B Battery, 1st Battalion, 151st Field Artillery, oversee a tractor pumping floodwater from an inundated neighborhood. "It's really awesome," said Kuhns about being activated for flood duty. "It's almost like being on deployment again, you get a sense of accomplishment like you're helping out. It feels good to give to people. It's why we joined in the first place; to help our fellow citizens." "it's great to see the heart of the people and the community coming together," agreed Stokes, from Spencer Iowa.
