“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that HIS PLACE shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
I have the same birthday as this gentleman and this quote resonates to my very soul because I DARED GREATLY and win or lose, that's all that really matters.......
Yes, you selflessly dared greatly. Only those who speak the truth can dare so greatly and hold their heads so high.

Yes, those words certainly apply to you and your selfless efforts and sacrifices, in the face of hatred and danger.
