"The people have been without water for several days," said Sgt. David Fuegen, 139th water distribution specialist, of Aberdeen. "It's been pretty much a non-stop flow of people coming in trying to get water." "A lot of the people are just so happy the Guard came to help us out with our water situation," said Jim Miller, of Porcupine. "A lot of the people here can't use their bathrooms, can't shower. Especially for our elderly and people who live off road. We are really grateful for the Guard coming and doing their part." The Soldiers deployed with five Load Handling System vehicles equipped with five Compatible Water Tank Racks, or "hippos."

Lew Weber, SDARNG support operations officer, of Rapid City. "The emergency management people here are doing a fantastic job and they have been great to work with. We are just happy we can be an enabler to help them complete their mission." The National Guard members provided water from a central location in each community until the waterline was restored. Residents brought in bottles, containers, coolers and even tanks to receive the water. "We've filled up numerous different sizes of containers, tanks - from one gallon all the way up to 200 gallons," said Meyer. By the second day of the operation, the need for water quickly expanded to the communities of Kyle and Sharps Corner. Many residents have been picking up water to help deliver it to community members who are unable to reach the distribution points due to flooding conditions. "There have been a lot of community members that get water for other people," said Meyer. "There are a lot of elders that can't make it to our water points." "We've seen neighbors helping neighbors, families helping families - everyone is coming together," said Weber. "We've seen people come here and take water out to people who can't get out of their homes themselves." By the third day of the Guard's mission, the county waterline was repaired. During their three days providing support, the Soldiers distributed nearly 9,500 gallons of water. The Soldiers said the community was appreciative of their help and were happy to provide assistance. "We are really grateful to all of you," said Miller. "I'm so humble and grateful and honored to meet all of you and thank you for your service. It means a lot to our community and all of us here." "The community has been overwhelming with thank yous, we're glad you're here, and keep up the good work," said Spc. Tracy Lennick, 139th water distribution specialist, of Rapid City. "It feels great to be down here. A remote location such as this is why I believe the Guard definitely has its place. They absolutely needed us. They called, we came." "I have a family at home and they know why I wear this uniform, and when people need help I go," said Fuegen. "I joined the Guard to be able to help, and that's why I'm here."
