This is the last photo taken of Sgt Major Saman Kunan, a Thai ex-SEAL who died Thursday afternoon when he ran out of oxygen while returning from delivering oxygen tanks to the boys trapped in the cave. He retired from the Thai Navy and volunteered to help.
Service knows no bounds of nationality, language, or skin color. People want to help people. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to give these boys a chance. I pray it is not in vain.
Saman Kunan. Say his name. He’s earned it.
Update, 8AM EDT, Tuesday July 10th: All 12 boys and their coach have been successfully rescued from the cave.
