2010 Flood Fight
Senior Airman Nathan Svenkerud, of the 119th Communications Flight, right, passes a sandbag to Staff Sgt. Cody Kjergaard, of the 119th Medical Group, as they build a flood barrier in a group of civilian volunteers and North Dakota Air National Guard personnel March 17, Fargo, N.D. The mixture of civilian and military personnel are moving sandbags from pallets in front yard driveways into flood prone areas of backyards in the south Fargo neighborhood called the Timberline area along drain 27. The drainage coulee empties into the Red River along the North Dakota and Minnesota border, but sometimes backs up into the residential neighborhoods when the river reaches major flood stages.
