Hail to Sec. Jesse

Much have been said about the man. And for me, Sec. Jesse personifies the teaching that "the humble shall be exalted". He was able to put up a simple life, despite the great call for fame. He leads, but follows. Having reached the pinnacle of success, he still finds joys in simple thing--his family.

A great man deserves great respect, so the JCI hold a simple tribute to a great man, who is also a former Jaycee. It was a humbling experience to go to his wake. You could watch a crowd of people, in all ages, trying to get the chance to go near Sec. Jesse's remains. None of them complained about staying long in lines because all were eager to give their final tribute.

Maybe all was God's plan.  Maybe Sec. Jesse suffered a controversial death because its the only way for us to look back and realize the lessons that the man taught us all. Maybe its his way to touch lives even after he earned his wings, something that he always did when we was still alive. Maybe his death was God's way of showing us how good it is to be able to change lives. Maybe its a way for us to realize that there's still hope. Maybe we are taught about the beauty of believing and believing more. And maybe he wants us to remember that no good deed is ever forgotten.

For the inspiration, thanks Sec. Jesse.
