He always liked to cheer people up. He is like the big brother everyone wished they had,\u201d said Lin Chen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She told the Sun-Sentinel that Peter had two brothers, ages 11 and 5, and his parents, too upset to talk, own a restaurant in West Palm Beach. They had planned to celebrate Chinese New Year\u2019s eve Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel the family can never be the same,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lin Chen wasn\u2019t surprised to hear that her cousin was seen helping others flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe is so brave. He is the person who is genuinely kind to everyone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, efforts are being made to petition Congress to authorize a military funeral for Wang, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2018\/02\/19\/petition-seeks-full-honors-military-funeral-for-hero-florida-jrotc-student.html\" title=\"\" class=\"\">Fox News reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeter Wang, 15, was one of the students killed in Florida this past week,\u201d the petition states. \u201cHe was a JROTC Cadet who was last seen, in uniform, holding doors open and thus allowing other students, teachers, and staff to flee to safety. Wang was killed in the process. His selfless and heroic actions have led to the survival of dozens in the area. Wang died a hero, and deserves to be treated as such, and deserves a full honors military burial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Monday morning, nearly 20,000 people had already signed the petition. It needs to gather 100,000 signatures by March 18 to get a response from the White House.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the victims were coaches.
