From the NY Times:

Quote:To the America of the 1960s, Mr. Glenn was a clean-cut, good-natured, well-grounded Midwesterner, raised in Presbyterian rectitude, nurtured in patriotism and tested in war, who stepped forward to risk the unknown and succeeded spectacularly, lifting his country’s morale and restoring its self-confidence.

RIP John Glenn. One of the greatest to come from our great state of Ohio.

May not be the proper place for a grammar question, but is it possible to be "nurtured" in patriotism.
