The U.S. Military Academy at West Point honored Peter Wang, a hero who perished in the 2018 Parkland shooting, during the graduation of the class of 2025. At just 15, Peter was killed while selflessly holding a door open for classmates during the attack, and he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Heroism and granted honorary admission to West Point. His actions exemplified the core values of duty, honor, and sacrifice, inspiring his peers and the community, as reflected in tributes from officials and fellow cadets at his military funeral.
