“(There are) a lot of reasons to celebrate this unit, but one of them of course is that you’ve got the record of the most deployed unit, so the most storied unit, in the best National Guard in the nation,” Burgum said, noting this was the unit’s 12th deployment since 2004. “The North Dakota National Guard always lives up to its motto, ‘Always Ready, Always There,’ … and (we) know that you delivered that in a great way for our Capital Region. The fight for freedom never ends. We’re grateful for your safe return.”
“Mrs. Todorovic has made an enormous impact on her students, on the Grand Forks community and the entire state through her passion for teaching students the English language and the skills they need to succeed in life, while giving them the opportunity to embrace and share their cultures with the community,” Burgum said.
"Healthy, vibrant communities make our state a great place to live, work and raise a family," Burgum tweeted after his remarks. "(We're) grateful for the leadership of the North Dakota League of Cities and the opportunity to discuss workforce, housing, infrastructure and other important issues at their annual meeting in Grand Forks."
"Congratulations to the 37 new lawyers admitted to the North Dakota bar this year," Sanford said. "Your education has given you the knowledge and confidence you need to make a positive difference in the world."
