Hope Blooms teams with Top Rank Network to deliver flowers to North Dakota Veterans
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) -Local veteran business owners and active members of the North Dakota Army National Guard collaborate to celebrate Veterans Day at the North Dakota Veterans center in Lisbon, North Dakota.
Residents of the North Dakota Veterans Home celebrated the day with a pancake breakfast and flag ceremony with the Lisbon American Legion, a visit from the Jamestown Drum and Bugle Core, and were hand delivered by Hope Blooms and members of Top Rank Networking, a Fargo based network of veteran business owners. For the active service members and members of Top Rank networking todays events provided an opportunity to express their gratitude to the servicemen and women who came before them.
“At Top Rank networking we really have two main missions and those are tow support veterans who own business and those business professionals in the community but we also look to give back to our community so today working with hope blooms really was a perfect marriage of those two things,” said Sergeant Casey Drege, North Dakota Army National Guard.
“Having conversations with some of these people special especially on you today it’s an important day for me. It’s an important day for them and being able to come together partner with Hope Bloom and hopefully bring a little bit of joy to their day has been very special for me,” said Drill Sergeant Brandon Wendland.
North Dakota Veterans Home’s Susie Schlecht expressed her gratitude saying, “I think it validates especially for Vietnam veterans that maybe didn’t get a very warm homecoming or actually a horrible homecoming we want to make every day an honor or them and show them how thankful we are for them especially today.”
Hope Blooms founder, Kelly Krenzel worked with Top Rank to organize and plan the event. Her nonprofit takes donated flowers from weddings, funerals, and spread joy and goodwill throughout the community. Today, Hope Blooms focused on those who have served.
“Today we brought a whole host of volunteers along with active service members and just came out to knock on people’s doors and just say, Hey thank you so much for your service and just remind them that their community cares about them,” said Krenzel.

(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Democrats rallied for a turnaround endorsing several candidates for statewide office to take on Republicans in November.
The Democratic-NPL Party endorsed state Sen. Ryan Braunberger of Fargo for secretary of state, Scot Kelsh of Fargo and John Pederson of Mayville for Public Service Commission and Tim Lamb of Grand Forks for attorney general. The party also issued a letter of support for Tracy Foss of Hatton for superintendent of public instruction.
Democrats have 429 delegates participating, which Party Chair Adam Goldwyn said is the most since 2018. The party has 49 legislative candidates so far, but Goldwyn challenged attendees to field candidates in districts that don’t yet have anyone running.
“The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party has one goal: contest every single election up and down the ballot all across the state,” Goldwyn said.
