  • Dinnis is the best mayer ever ps im bad at spelling

  • it is so incredible that we live in a community that can pull together like no other comminuty and beat a national disater that should have taken out the city. thank you so much to all those who were there in the lines, filling bags and keeping everyone fed! no where else in the world can you find a community with the ambition and good hearted-ness as the f-m and surrounding areas. god bless this area looks like we have to do it again!

  • @MikeyBfromND: It looks like we'll be in for a Round Three. Go to this same YouTube channel and type in "Fargo Moorhead Flood 2011 - Hoedl" and you can see the first video I posted for 2011. More to come...

  • get ready for round 3 this spring...

  • @pinkdancer4: Go to this same YouTube channel and type "01.19.11 Fargo-Moorhead Flood 2011 Overview" in the search engine - yes, it looks like Round 3 might be at hand...

  • I was there and we had to evacuate our house and it was scary not knowing if our house was ok

  • I remember worrying every minute during this flood. I was afraid my dr was going to get angry with me, because I was wearing a halter monitor to try determine issues with my heart but I was still out sandbagging everyday. It seemed like you could literally watch the water levels rise. I remember watching this video during the flood and just crying. I am so proud to be living in the F-M area. There are a lot of amazing people here. 2010's flood was stressful too, but nothing like 2009's

  • if you never lived here during this you will never know how bad it acctuall was, and will be again soon!!!

  • Ah yes...i remember working 12 hour shifts working entry security at rose creek...go army and air force lol...i wonder if we will have another flood this year.

  • I love my home, Fargo. I thank all of you that helped save it.

  • None of this would have happened if you called Margie Gunderson.

  • In tribute to FM area effort to save its cities over the past two years, local Concordia College student Jason Sather composed a song called "Sandbaggin" that aired on local radio station Y-94 during the flood fighting effort in 2010. After receiving positive feedback on his song Sather created a music video with the help of the Concordia Track team and friends.

    Check it out by searching "FM Sandbagging Song".

  • This was the craaaaziest time EVER! It took us 4 hours to get to the place we were going to sandbag tht should have taken like 45 minutes cause all the roads were flooded over. Then when we got there my friend got a call tht her mom had just gone into labor!

  • that is what separates north dakota from all the rest because north dakotans actually know what hard work is and they are willing to do it when the time comes when it is needed everyone else would have sat around and waited for the gov. to do something

  • Yeah I live in Fargo and I remember sandbagging.

  • Lets not forget the good people on the MN side. I drove 200 miles to help sand bag. I brought my fourwheeler to help haul bags along the dikes. I can say with out a doubt that the people of the F/M area are a shining example of how people should live and act. God Bless North Dakota and Minnesota!

  • we should give a big thanks to all the young people in our community, high school and college. without them, there would have been so many less volunteers out there helping. i was up at the fargo dome for what we called the night shift almost every night and i saw a lot of my classmate there

  • I agree with you 100% I was at the FARGODOME most nights and at the neighborhood dike-building and there were always college and high school students present. What a wonderful example of present and future leadership.

  • This example of people working together is what separates North Dakota from some of the "others".

  • I was so proud of our city and how we came together to save it. If something like this would have happened almost anywhere else in the country everyone would have just stood around waiting for the gov't to save them. Thank god for North Dakotans

  • *sigh*

    i remember this like it was yesterday. i live in south fargo, but my house was fine.

    woot woot go fargo!

  • I am proud of my home town and my community, many of our houses were not in danger of flooding but we all did our part to save our town we are a community that sticks together through thick and thin, we came together and did the impossible. I am proud to say im part of this community. volunteers came from all over to help us and it just shows what type of personalitys are in our part of the country. it is a memory that i will always remember.

  • Like the end says, we didn't do it to be heroes, we did it cuz if we wouldn't, a lot more people would have been in trouble. We didn't tire until we closed our eyes to sleep, we didn't stop until we were out of sand or had to move, and nobody complained. I was at one of the major dikes three minutes before it gave way. We were walking back through the flooded streets to a bus, when we saw a lot of Nat Guards rush by us. Also, I would like to thank Sparks, the DJ for Q98, who directed much of us.

  • i have lived in north dakota all my life and i am proud of it i would have given anything to be there fighting the flood GOD BLESS NORTH DAKOTA

  • i have lived in north dakota all my life and im proud of i lived in fargo for 10 years i now live in bismarck and i would have given anything to be there next to all you fighting this flood! great job!!! GOD BLESS NORTH DAKOTA

  • proud native of fargo for 10 years i now live in bismarck i would have given anything to be right there next to all you fighting

  • I live here, but I am from Texas, When my friends down south comment on the cold weather, I always tell them the people up here are awesome. I am proud to raise my family here.

  • im crying right now because i remember leaving our house, were a small town just like popshovelt said sorry if i spelt that wrong im still crying right now

  • I have family in Fargo & to this day cry my eyes out when i watch these videos. I am very excited to be leaving connecticut behind come febuary of 2010. my thoughts & prayers are with the residents of the areas that were flooded may God be with all of you <3.

  • Being a fargo resident We had to leave our house and our house was severly damaged.. I helped out wiht the community every day for sandbagging more than i helped my house... I cried when my house was under water partially

    I salute to my fargo moorhead community we are all here together and nobody is alone

  • we r a small town but we have a big heart

  • Loved seeing Janel Klein. Smart, talented and knows her stuff. She's the real deal and we miss her. Thanks for posting.

  • this was sad ut was hard for me to look at my home being like that i miss u fargo i love u its so hard to look at me home place like that soory i cant bye i love u fargo

  • I am sure that if any other state had to face what we did they would have failed. It is because we are from North Dakota that we did what we did!!!! Great Job!!

  • this is really a great video im so glad we all came together. we did it! im so happy fargo and moorhead is getting money to do something about all the flooding so it wont happen again. Im glad to be a north dakotan!^^

  • i remember being at the dome for 13hrs i was interveiwed for msnbc and im only 12 so yea proud to say im from fargo north dakota

  • without determination, teamwork, and hope we would not have accomplished such an extraordinary task. When the weather conditions worsened everyday we did not quit but stuck it out and gave it everything we had.

    Fargo/Moorhead god bless

  • We have recovered well, and thanks for putting this video on here to show all the efforts of the community!

  • being a bismarck resident, i had to evacuate my house and move up north to a friends house. luckily the water didnt rise high enough to get to my backyard! that was a close one... the ice block bombing was cool :D

  • It is refreshing to see real people facing adversity by banding together and taking care of each other.

    In an age where incompetence, greed, and corruption is rewarded with "bailouts", North Dakotans simply rise up, face the threat without asking for help from outsiders, and prevail.

    North Dakota....I salute you.

  • I have never been to North Dakota but from what I have seen, the people in this state are to be admired and respected for the way they band together to face adversity.

    In an age where incompetence is rewarded with "bailouts", the people of North Dakota ask for nothing, they just take care of business stoically and without complaint.

    North Dakota....I salute you.

  • On Wednesday march 25th I celebrated my birthday, I celebrated by going down to Fargo and sandbagging :) Best birthday ever.

  • only in the red river valley do we fight a flood and snow storm at the same time... im from glyndon mn which is just outside of moorhead and from all of us around here thank you for your efforts helping us from all over... were now tearing down those huge ass dikes that everyone put up... its a great time :) lol

  • no one will ever do what we did

  • im so proud to live in the f/m city

  • I have lived in many states in my life and the people in the Midwest bans together the best. I go to school at NDSU and I sandbagged in many of the areas that they show in this video

  • For all the the nameless volunteers in the head on bash with Red River, i am personally proud to say i am from Fargo and that i got to gear up with each and everyone of you, My applause to all of us and thanks to the prayers from all and who sent them, Fargo you are amazing and wouldn't give you guys up for anything, Stand up, keep your head high and be proud cuz you Didn't back down. Raise the glasses and cheers to the great Fight of '09.

    "We do what is heroic simply because it is needed"

  • i live here in fargo and this just gives me chills watching it and how this city pulled together to fight the red and all the wonderful who came form all around to help us sandbag and thank you to anyone of you who helped it was great for your help thank you!

  • well i think we're supposed to have our second crest today. but i guess it's no big deal. so thats good. this has been some interesting past weeks we've been having.

    thankfully it's all FINALLY over with.

    sort of. now it's all clean up.

  • You know people will always seem apart from each other until disaster strikes. That is when people become one and help out in the community, I live in Martin ND and I want to say this to all of you out there please Fargo Hold on and STAND STRONG!!!!!

  • I helped sand bag and i went thru this winter. I live in ND and this is the worst winter in the 9 years ive lived here. It's so dangorus and not fun but it felt good to help sand bag and it helped alot of ppl

  • my cousins and aunt and uncle live there. please be safe. ♥

  • hello all. this is is a great video that shows the hard work needed to sandbag a community. if some of you are still want to help, there is a town about 60 miles west of fargo that is in great need of sandbaggers. this town is valley city. if you are willing to help, report to North Dakota Winter Show main entrance from 9am to 9pm from april 10 thru april 12th

  • concordia Senior Here. Thank you to all who came out and helped that had no stake in what was going on. As the plaque in the beginning said, "We combat natural disasters with acts of God" It was a trying time for everyone who worked on it and we will be on the lookout until this is over :)

  • hi my name is josh hanson and im a sophmore at west fargo high school

    i was sandbagging all day wednesday march 25 and missed school on the 26 cuz i was sand bagging. i helped sandbag and dike all weekend and the whole next week untill they stopped needing volunteers i would say that i put in more than 100 hours

  • Simply put, this was the most awesome example of community in action. I am indescribably proud to be a Fargoan. No second thoughts, only "how can I help?" No delaying, only action. No giving up - EVER. We fought this until it was defeated, with smiles on our faces and sand on our shirts.

  • Im In This video.... and this video describes everything.. fargo morrhead was never alone during this whole thing this is an AWSOME SONG!!!

  • would have helped if I had a ride there. Fargo has stood tall,as never before. hope to be back there in a month or two.

  • The best thing that came out of our flood was how everyone came together to help. I remember a few times that they were turning people down because they had too much help. Looking around Fargo you see signs posted all over by people that are thankful for everyone's efforts.

  • thats really sad i would loveto help but im in california but stand stron fargo pepole

  • I live about 10 miles south of Fargo and my house barely got by. Of the 5 houses I live by only 2 didn't get any water damage.(my house wasn't one of the houses that stayed dry) Fargo Moorhead truely has an unbreakable spirit and we will get through this. God bless all of the volunteers you guys truely saved the Fargo Moorhead area.

  • It is amazing that regardless of the 900 national guard troops activated at first, that there was so many civilians involved in getting this together, knowing fully that there was guardsmen available to work instead of the volunteers.

  • Living in NC now from ND but you can't take the Dakota Outa the boy. What an inspiration for people on other parts of the countty. Everyone here is just astounded by the heart, and morality of the people there.

  • Fargo-Moorhead is the best place to grow up and this video shows how a community works as one. Thanks to everybody who helped and God Bless!

  • nice video i helped out at sandbag central. it is amazing how they have it set up. i also went to the dome. half of it was filled with sandbags and there were 4 times as many people there. i am happy that a lot of people are helping out in the effort. SAVE THE CITY!!!!!!!

  • england is with you god bless you all

  • I was at the fargodome making sandbags. It was truely amazing how hard everyone worked without pay and without rest. I'm proud to be able to say I am part of the FM area. Thank you everyone for all of your help and efforts.

  • It says this video is no longer available.  Can you post it again?

  • The video is up and will remain up as long as individuals would like to view it.

  • Thank for putting together such an amazing video. The images along with the song really capture the spirit of the F-M area. God Bless the F-M area!

  • Please leave it up here forever! As a reminder that good people are capable of great things when they work together for better cause! Keep on keeping on!

  • nice video

  • yeah Im at good shepard in charge of a red cross shelter are community is the best both fargo and MOORHEAD (is also affected in case your not from round here)

  • If you don't live here, you should know: Tho blazing hot in the summer, sometimes a bit chilly in the winter, this is God's Country to us, as we made it so.

  • God Bless you, Fargo. Thanks Lee for posting this video, it has touched so many. God Bless - Caleb Eames

  • Great video! Thanks for sharing

  • when you are actually there, it's scary. my school sent 100 kids to help sandbag and I felt terrible for the families. one house wasnt going to be saved and this woman fell apart. i felt awful. seeing this on tv is one thing but being there and seeing it is a totally different thing.

  • i hav family there! i live in Detroit lakes!

  • Notice no ARMED national guard members; no looting; no sitting around blaming the Federal Government for not doing their work for them.

    Whiners wouldn't survive around here.

    -Proud to be from the Red River Valley

  • The name of the group is Lady Antebellum - they teamed up with Jim Brickman, the pianist/composer on this song. I believe it's on his latest album and is appropriately entitled "NEVER ALONE."

  • The people of North Dakota stood TOGETHER!

    Your hearts are strong, God Bless

  • Thank you

  • thank you my church might play it durning sunday church

  • Comment removed

  • I live in this area and I feel so blessed to have lived amongst these hard working people all of my life. We know our neighbors and we know they will help as we will help them in return. Praying for you all that the waters receed now and life gets back to "normal"

  • if the whole usa was like this, wed be the great nation we once were..... now, we wait for someone else to do he heavy lifting.

  • i completly agree with you.

  • im from fargo now in egypt.... wish i could help and that my family is doing well

  • i'm from fargo and i haven't been in school for 9 day's now.

    its insane.

  • wow bryan all this happend and u were worried about skool

  • I would like to send a huge thank you to all who have helped in this effort. Busloads of volunteers came from miles around. Nothing short of amazing. My heart goes out to those who have lost the battle and their homes. Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming.

  • dude my DAD LIVES THERE!!! fargo N.D i have family friends live there and i use to live there :[ which i miss but my dad sent pics to my cell and it was all bad soo much traffic and soo many ppl were sandbaggin. and all the skool r closed do to the flooding [friends/dad told me] :[ i worry about him everyday so PLEASE PRAY FOR THERE SAFETY!

  • Amazing...brought tears.The way these two communities came together inspires me. Also, as much as everyone talks about the volunteers, the residents of Fargo/Moorhead who's homes were endangered were also immensely hospitable and kind. never before have a been welcomed so much. As a college student, I must say this experience has forever made Fargo/Moorhead a home

  • I was heartened by the actions of the residents in this part of our country but upon reflection not surprised. This is a part of the "Heartland of America" and this is what these people do. Compare their actions with the actions of the leaders and a part of the populace in New Orleans after Katrina. What a difference!!!! These people in North Dakota and Minnesota are true heroes. I haven't heard a single whine or bleat about the failure of the (federal) government to take care of them. God Bless

  • It's good and right to be proud of all that has been accomplished, but this is not comprable to Katrina & the events of New Orleans. I was there in Aug of 2006 - if you have not experienced being in that city, you should.

    It's never good to point fingers and point out others as weak in areas that you are strong in. It's enough just to do what you need to do - and can do - and get the job done. When you start letting yourself feel some hubris - that is when you are in trouble.

  • I couldn't agree with you more, rachelbred. All persons in the FM area (and beyond) offered a whole host of varied services and EVERYONE got the job done. I'm proud of all of you, in all of your nameless and faceless, but necessary and vital roles.

  • I was living in Moorhead in 1997 and was a part of the fight that saved our area from the catastrophic flooding that Grand Forks/EGF experienced. You are right in that it is a great community with lots of talented hard working people. Also the FM area is a regional hub for contractors and heavy equipment, with a large part of the population who come from a farm/heavy machinery background.

    Comparisons to Katrina cannot be made

    New Orleans is really an urban island, with very few resources...

  • As I said, I was there in 97' when we won the battle and Grand Forks did not great planning, a hell of a lot of hours of hard work by the community and a wealth of talent & material resources made that happen, along with prayers & luck; the actions were the same.

    What's been ramped up this year is the media focus (mainly due to the Katrina tragedy) and the community's self awareness that the spotlight was on & the rememberance of the GF images.

    Was GF lazy in 1997? Did they refuse FEMA $

  • i live in fargo,and it's crazy how many people have helped out.

  • this is what god wanted all alone... come together and help each other out

  • It was probably the coolest experience of my life walking into the Fargodome and seeing all the thousands of people out to help their fellow man. Kinda gives you hope for humanity dont it?

  • This song is really amazing...such a great track to represent our fight. Who is it and what is the song?

  • The music group is Lady Antebellum (teamed with Jim Brickman) and the name of the song is "Never Alone."

  • The people of North Dakota at their finest. Thank you to all the volunteers and to all of you around the nation praying for us. And one last thing..... GO BISON!!!!!

  • My prayers & thoughts go out to all in Fargo during this difficult time. It's good to see the heroic nature that exists in all of us come together to help one another.

  • please pray for all of us over here in fargo. it hasn't affected us yet

  • This is quite possibly the most touching video I have ever seen. Only in ND will you see so many family, friends, and even strangers banding together for a common cause. That common cause being helping one another battle a natural disaster. Keep up the good work everyone! I can't be there to help, but you're all in my thoughts and prayers!!

  • I, myself, am a 14 year old girl and it's even hard for me. I can't wait for this to all be over. THIS SUCKS!!! Thank you everybody for the support and the prayers.

  • 250,000 sandbags were made yesterday alone and we've made over 3.5 million total...!!!! My arms and back are numb from last night but with the group of ppl I met & worked with, that was the best night I've had all year. Absolutely amazing experience!! Keep going ppl, we're going fight this!!

  • Wonderful and touching video, thank you so much.

  • Comment removed

  • My son and I are in Fargo, just waiting for it to be safe to go home. Thank you to everyone showing support and offering prayer.

  • i know i don't live in fargo or moorhead. but me annd my sister have been doing as much sandbagging as we can. even dooing the morning shifts at 2am. and staying there till 10 pm but we didn't mind at all. thanks for all your help guys. if we didnt have as strong as a comuintie(i know i spelt that wrong) we probably wouldnt have a moorhead/ fargo.

  • This video almost made me cry. I live in the Red River Valley, and we have been fighting so hard in the past week: for our homes and those of others, for our schools, and for our cities. We've been working around the clock to save as much of our cities as we can. Thank you to all of you have been praying for us during this time. God has done miracles here. The freezing temperatures have slowed down the melting and the river's crest is lower than expected.

  • WOW!!! What a fabulous community to come together like it has! I pray daily for my friends & everyone in the Fargo/Morrhead area. I wish I could be there to help.

  • i dont live in fargo, but i do live in beulah, things have been pretty bad here too..but not as bad as in fargo, i feel bad for those who have lost their homes due to this flood, because some of my close friends are trying to recover from the damage it has done...i hope things clear up, just like it did in beulah.

  • To all the volunteers that have come out in the awful conditions, and met this disaster head on - BRAVO.

    Fargo has never been a better place to live than this past week.

  • I just want to thank all the volunters and the heros of our country, The ND guard and many from outher states. With out you we may have lost our citys. GOD BLESS every one that helped in the flood fight.

  • i dont live in fargo..but i live in beulah..we got hit pretty bad, but not as bad as fargo..i hope things start to clear up before too long..just like it did in beulah, but still, i know how it feels to have your home and all of your posessions totally ruined, my heart goes out to all of you.

  • great Video....keep up the good work people. May God richly bless each and everyone for their determination and hard work to help preserve quality of life.....

  • i live here and trust me... its not pretty. i wish it was gone and we all are turning into a community by sandbagging and helping out. I live real close to the red river and i wanted to say thanks for all your hard work! Stay close!

  • i cant even live in fargo anymore my house got flooded and it tipted over from the lack of suppport that the flood washed away. granted it was a small house but no im living at my brother in laws basement for the mein time

  • what an amazing video, if it wasn't for this community, fargo would not exist!! thanks guys so much for all that you've done

  • My cousins are in this dam flood! They are sandbagging too.

  • Best of luck from over here on the West Coast. My heart goes out to you all.

  • This is such an amazing video! I think it really helps to show the type of people we have living here. I am heading to Fargo in the morning to lend a helping hand.

  • "We Combat Natural Disasters With Acts of God." Cold temps slowed the melting and decreased flooding. Thank you, God.

  • "We Combat Natural Disasters With Acts of God." Thank you God for answering our prayers! Cold temperatures slowed the melting and prevented the river from cresting as high as predicted.

  • What a great truth found on the sign in the video, "We Combat Natural Disasters With Acts Of God." Cold temperatures slowed the melting and prevented the river from cresting as high as predicted. God's been listening to our prayers.

  • This is a great video. It show the volunteerism in this are and the ability to work together toward a common goal. Great!!!

  • My whole family lives in Fargo, and my cousen just had a baby. I h pray every night for them. an well i hope they are ok.

  • omg! this made me cry... this was one of the saddest movies.... gosh... i live i little bit away from there so and its hard to imagine the heck there going through! God please bless these people .. :'(

  • Went down from UND to help sandbagging and as I was approaching Fargo I could have sworn we were approaching Devils Lake. We've been through the Red River's crap before, we will do it again. I'll be back tommorrow as well, good luck until then.

  • we dont have the mountains to view,we dont have the ocean to breath,but what we do have is the people to die for. We would help anyone in need!

    And we will survive that storm that is coming our way ,watch and see! God bless you all!

  • i live in fargo. at 2:20 its just across the street from my house, and if the dikes dont hold up, my basement will flood like crazy!! this is not good!!!!!!!!!!

  • we dont have the mountains to view, we dont have the ocean to breath ,but what we do have is the people to die for. This is a great place , we stand by each other no matter what! you need us we will be there for all of you too. we shall survive the storm that is coming our way also. watch us stand together and thank you all!

  • God bless all those in Fargo and in Mooresville.

    You're not alone.

  • If the earth needs to be protected from approaching asteroids, these will be the people who will step up to build the shield to save the planet. Don't make them angry.

  • the flood of 2009 was crazy... ive lived here for 20 years and have never seen the whole entire city almost shut down... thanks to all who came from all over to help in our efforts to save the city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome video! My heart breaks for all of you! Sending out prayers for all of you for comfort and strength!

  • Great Video. It was one helluva week, but it turned out much better than it could've. Thank God it got so cold and slowed things down. Thursday night people were worried that 44 was possible. That would've been a complete disaster.

  • Should they be charged lakefront property taxes now ? Our crew bagged 3 days.

  • fargo is my hometown. i love it there and its heart breaking to see whats happening there ]. my family and everyone elses family who has been effected by the horrible floods will be in my prayers

  • This is an amazing representation of what happens when a community of people pull together to work for the common goal of helping all in need. If only this was a daily occurrence world wide instead of just in times of natural disaster...

  • so sad i live in moorhead thanks so much for doing this!

  • Awesome video. As a Moorhead Teacher that worked the last 6 days at MSCTC filling sandbags & loading trucks we thank all the help recieved from surrounding communities to help our city survive this calamity! I never heard a complaint as hundreds of volunteers filled sandbags in the rain and snowstorms & freezing temps. Thanks for all the busnineses that donated warm food to keep us all going! How can we fail with a positive attitude & good work ethic...no feeling sorry for ourselves here!!

  • 1:57!!! I was there lol, they fed some good grub!

  • i think this is one of the best videos that you could show of fargo/morhead it just shows how we small states can get togerth in these hard times and get through them by working togther i am proud to say i live in west fargo

  • I am from the Fargo Moorhead area and we needed help more than anything yet only 100,000 people (same people) helped...........many houses are underwater and a friend of mine, her house is near the river, and their neighbors shed floated down 7 houses.....his house is now underwater.......god bless him and others as well as my family.........

  • Thank you for all of these videos you have posted, you've done a great job!

  • I wish they had some later shots of the dome, there were about 10 times as many people there on thursday and friday, even late into the night there was thousands

  • I believe there is probably footage posted of those evenings. I was busy helping with sandbagging on Southwood Drive that evening, but I heard it was a PHENOMENAL sight. If you were there and participating, I stand and applaud you. We will not take sympathy from others, but we will always take help... and then, SURVIVE and THRIVE.

  • God works in mysterious ways to unite a community! Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys! Take Care and know that we are praying hard for you guys! God Bless!

  • Our prayers are with all along the red river. I hope that if you should have any tears fall it will only be from watching this video!

    What a wonderful job!

    Very Well Done!

  • This goes to show what happens when family, friends and neighbors pull together and put their backs into it to save their communities. Instead of blaming the government and looking for a handout.

    God Bless these folks!

  • north dakota, you are an inspiration to everyone. your neighbors across the border to the north are with you. people all over over should take note, you aren't looting or blaming, you are coming together, buckling down,  and getting the job done. in a few days this will all be just an ugly memory.

  • I live in Fargo, its an amazing place to live. And I'm so glad everyone came together to fight the flood together

  • My heart goes out to everyone back home in the Fargo, Moorhead, GrandForks & Bismarck areas. Prayers for your safety and protection sent your way.

  • Watching the ND Warriors makes an American proud of the incredible spirit which overcomes all odds with their can do attitude, neighorly caring and support, and extraordinary SMILES, even in freezing temps. This is the heart of America at its best!! jt

  • this is an awesome video that is being circulated all over..... even making the in-forum's website this morning!

  • Awesome video that brings tears to my eyes. The music is by Lady Antebellum w/ Jim Brickman.

  • LOVE always wins! You are all in our prayers, thoughts, and hearts.....please hold on to that!

  • Really well done video. Strangely, it appears the good people of Fargo-Moorhead pulled this off without a federal bailout or multi-billion-dollar volunteer program...

  • I've lived in Fargo, ND all my life. Thanks to all people helping out.

  • My heart hurts for the FM area. I was there in 97 and it's heartbreaking. Know that Jamestown is praying for you. If you need housing, look to the west!

  • Great video...Thanks for doing it.

  • Great job, i got shivers. really captures what it is like. Thanks.
