Four veterans from the Flathead Valley were among those honored by Gov. Greg Gianforte with the 2024 Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation on Monday.
“Honoring our veterans with the Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation award is a small yet meaningful way to express our profound gratitude for their sacrifice, service, and dedication to our freedoms,” Gianforte said in a statement.
Among the recipients are Eric Rydom of Bigfork, who served in the U.S. Army from 1980 to 2006, Erick Fehlberg of Eureka, a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, Terri Klepper-Speasl of Coram, who was a member of both the U.S. Army and the Wyoming National Guard, and Luke Opp of Kalispell, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
