After being inspired by Shalin's story, L'antonino (www.lantonino.com) wrote the script for 

The Accidentals's "City of Cardboard" music video around Shalin's message and ended it with a beautiful sunset tribute. 

 

The video was filmed in the south of France near Shalin's second home, Paris, where he lived and

studied abroad for a semester in college.

Following Shalin's passing, we received a heartfelt letter from President Barack Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama honoring Shalin and his remarkable service. We are deeply humbled by the compassionate support of The White House.
