Nourse in the Armed Services

"Heroism is a divine attribute. Patriotism approves and honor it. Humanity feverently and ambitiously inclines to cherish it. To make a record of its achievement becomes the pleasure as well as the duty of a generous people, who are never unminded of their heroes." ~ Robert B. Caverly, The Heroism of Hannah Duston and Indian Wars of New England, p13.

Millions of men and women have proudly served in the United States Armed Forces. I have pointed out only the men/women who historically fall from the Nutspittle name. The men and women who served our country deserve our thanks and appreciation. They served and sacrificed to protect us and made a better and safer world for us all to live in.

All of the following Nourse names are under the Nutspittle heritage; starting with George Henry Nourse; followed by 5 of his 7 sons who fought in WWI ...
