Joseph Nurre

Thinking of you Joe this Memorial Day. Never forgotten

Joe, it still crushes me to think of your death at such a young age. To lose such a positive force in this world. I wish your family peace and love and I try to bring your positivity and spirit to everything I do. Although the posts on here may slow down, I know your influence continues on in the way that everyone who met you lives their lives, better off for having known you.

I have two clear memories of Joe,

We were part of the soccer team that formed to play while we were on the q-west base in Iraq. He was a competitive type and wanted to win.

That leads a clearer memory of being told that Joe was closely watching the outcome of our physical fitness test. He had scored the highest in the company, but our platoon was testing later in the month - I had done well on the first two events and later was told that he was watching closely to see...

Think of you Joe. Miss you bro.

Thinking of you Joe. Will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Go Notre Dame!

I was in the same battalion as Joe, and remember when word came down. I was in western Iraq at Al Asad. Even though we never met. It hit home to us, that we lost one of ours in Iraq. He is still remembered by many and will be for a very long time.

Joe, you will never be forgotten.

"Forever Young"

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Nurre,
We still often think about your son and you both. Please know that Joe will never be forgotten.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
