March 23, 2009: Minnesota and North Dakota Wings Assist in Sandbagging Operation

On this date in 2009, members of the Minnesota and North Dakota Wings of the CAP assisted with sandbagging operations along the Red River.

An excerpt from the North Dakota Wing: via NHQ:

The threat of flooding in the Fargo area drew more than 50 members of the North Dakota and Minnesota wings up to 250 miles to aid in the effort to keep the Red River from overrunning homes, businesses and towns.  Several ground teams have been dispatched to local houses and troubled spots.  Once members checked in, they were dispatched within minutes to assist with sandbagging.
