Bravery knows no flag, I really learned that standing on a hill called Little Round Top and looking across a field facing Cemetery Ridge in a small town in Pennsylvania called Gettysburg. A difficult situation arose when I looked my wife in the eye and told her "I don't think I could've done what they did and crossed that field". I bow my head to all that have crossed those fields.
I hope this is correct...
le courageux et altruiste doit toujours trouver le chemin du ciel
Anyway happy I could help.
Regards,
Pat

Yes it is, i can't add anything other than that i agree with that.
Oh, and i think the "even-more-correct" way would be: l'altruiste, but since this isn't a french class we can overlook that
