"Pal, you're a hero. What you did was so brave, so selfless, your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you. I'm gonna track down your address and I'm gonna send you an authentic Captain America shield because pal, you deserve it."
In the original Instagram post that has garnered over a million likes in the past few days, Bridger said,
"If someone had to die, I thought it should be me."
