He also acknowledged the loss of a former Navy SEAL, Saman Kunan, who died last week while replenishing air tanks inside the cave. Prayuth said, "His honor, sacrifice, and legacy will forever be in our hearts." The soccer teammates had become trapped in the cave June 23 and were finally extracted by experienced divers over three days.
