An honor guard carries the casket of Private Tyler William Todd, from 1st Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, to a hearse, at Canadian Forces Base Trenton April 14, 2010.
Rest in peace, Pte Todd. You join a company of other great men and women who dared greatly to make a difference. 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.
