I would like to extend my dearest condolences to the Nehring family. I also had the honor of serving with Justin in the North Dakota Army National Guard, even spent a deployment to Iraq with him all those years ago. He was a great soldier, but more importantly he was a great man. I would still run into him from time to time, out locating water line somewhere out in the field, or just out fencing, you never knew where you’d run into him. Rest in peace bud, you are going to be missed.

Karen Richardson (Williston , ND)
