Meet our hometown hero
Rebecca joined the U.S. Army in 1977 at 18 and served as a cook in Virginia, Maryland and Germany until 1981. Back home, she used the GI Bill to become a nurse, working as a psych nurse at the New Hampshire State Hospital and later at the New Hampshire State Prison for Women.
Service is a family tradition: her father was a Marine in Vietnam, her sister served in the Navy, and both of her brothers served. Today she's helping raise her two grandsons in the home she's lived in for 13 years, a house with no insulation at all and high utility bills all year.
