Two courageous people

Two (male) friends made a bet that that if one of them died the other would wear a dress to the funeral. They even chose the dress. Then one of them was posted to Afghanistan. Here is a picture from his funeral. A more wrenchingly emotional image than you probably expect. Respectful condolences.

Also - I don't know, on a similar impeccably courageous theme - what about Eddie Izzard? I don't know if you heard but he ran 43 marathons in 51 days. I would have thought that was literally impossible, and I can't believe he did it, except there he is, he did it. He even rescued a little kitten en route (can't find the link right now). Could he be more impressive?
