Inspirational Quotes about Jesse Dietrich
“I am saddened at the loss of such a remarkable young man. I had the privilege of having Jesse as a student in my junior English class. He seemed mature beyond his years. Due to his voracious reading, he always had something intelligent to contribute to class discussions. He talked to me about different books he had read and his insights were always interesting. He is one of those students who comes along that makes you glad you became a teacher. He always talked about the service and how he couldn't wait to go serve his country. How very lucky we all are to have special young men like Jesse who are willing to risk everything, even their very lives so that we can enjoy our freedom. I am so glad to have known Jesse and to have been his teacher. Our loss is great. My sympathy goes out to his family."

"I stood holding a flag in your honor today in downtown Mansfield. I was truly honored to be served by your life. Because you gave it all, I will do my best to give my all for others as long as I live. God bless your family young man. You are a true American hero and may you rest in peace while you wait on the rest of us to join you in eternity."
