Former NDNG Commander-in-Chief Honored

The North Dakota National Guard honored former Gov. John Hoeven and his wife, Mikey, at a ceremony on Dec. 21, 2010, at the Guard's Raymond J. Bohn Armory. About 200 Soldiers and Airmen assembled to witness the award presentation.

Hoeven was awarded the North Dakota Distinguished Service Medal, the North Dakota National Guard's highest award for his leadership as its commander in chief throughout the past 10 years. During his tenure as governor, more than 5,300 Soldiers and Airmen were mobilized for federal duty and more than 3,000 active duty, reserve and Guard personnel were called to serve on state active duty to fight floods and assist communities following ice storms and tornados.
