This thread is excellent. The speech was fantastic.

"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."

Some thought this was offensive? Confused

The speech reads very nicely! Well done. While it is true not all acts of heroism are equivalent that should not diminish any act of selflessness. I just cannot see why some insist on believing that praising one act somehow diminishes another.

Live like you are dying not like you are afraid to die.
