Van Noy (9 August 1924 – 17 October 1943) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II. His birthname was Nathan Kilby Van Noy Jr. ==Biography== Van Noy joined the Army from Preston, Idaho in February 1943,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by October 17, 1943 was serving as a private in the Headquarters Company of Shore Battalion, 532nd Engineer Boat and Shore Regiment. On that day, near Finschafen, New Guinea, he manned a machine gun during an enemy attack, refusing to withdraw even after being seriously wounded. He destroyed half of the small enemy force before being killed. For his actions during the battle, he was posthumously issued the Medal of Honor four months later, on February 26, 1944. Van Noy, aged 19 at his death, was buried at Grace Cemetery in his birth city of Grace, Idaho. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
