Men who stopped train attacker awarded Legion d’Honneur
French President François Hollande awarded France’s highest honor Monday to three Americans and a Briton who tackled a gunman on a train from Amsterdam to Paris.
The Pentagon said later that the two U.S. servicemembers given the French award are being considered for heroic military medals, including a possible Purple Heart.
Hollande presented the Legion d’Honneur to U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone, 23; Alek Skarlatos, 22, an Oregon National Guardsman; Anthony Sadler, 23, a Sacramento State University student; and British citizen Chris Norman, 62.
