"Jesse was a authentic American hero who lifted himself to greatness, not in spite of his disability, on the other hand perhaps because of it," National Adjutant Arthur H Wilson said. "He rose from adversity and was an inspiration to us all.

"Jesse's self-conscious service to our nation and his relentles advocacy upon behalf of all veterans earned him the distinction of being known as the Secretary for Veterans Affairs.
