Peter Wang

Date of Passing: February 14, 2018
Location: Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Parkland, FL

Peter Wang was a JROTC cadet who died a hero. He was last seen holding the door open so his classmates could escape the building safely. His act of courage cost him his life but saved others. Peter dreamed of attending the United States Military Academy at West Point — a dream honored posthumously with a rare acceptance and a hero’s funeral. His selflessness and quiet strength continue to inspire people around the world. Peter embodied what it means to be brave.
