You are a great representative of the good people in this world. You have earned a lot of respect by me, and I am sure, a whole lot of other people all around the world.

It takes a special person to risk your own life to save someone you don't even know, that's why I have a deep respect for soldiers. I wish everyone could be like Nathlon.
