View all 98 ReflectionsRest in Peace brother. I could picture God calling for a new Angel, and if it had to be someone from Troop A; Jesse would volunteer even though he had so much more living to do. Selfless. I hope that your family has found peace. Some of your academy classmates are going through challenges now; and it seems that you are watching over us, and guiding us along through those tough times. It is appreciated. Miss you brother. Thank you for your service & sacrifice.
