Three Americans and a British grandfather who prevented 'carnage' by tackling the French train terrorist have been awarded France's highest honour for bravery.
U.S. Airman Spencer Stone, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, their friend Anthony Sadler and Briton Chris Norman were presented with the Legion d'Honneur at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
French President Francois Hollande, who pinned on their medals, praised the men for taking action in the face of terrorism.
The ceremony was held as the first heroic passenger who wrestled a machine gun from the terrorist was today revealed to be an American professor.

Great video at the link: Train attack heroes arrive....
I wonder what team obama has planed for them? The 2 in the military, will he bring charges against them?
It does not look as though they’d be eligible for the Soldiers Medal.
When has team obama ever given anyone a Medal for taking out a muzzie?
And what does Hollande have for his countrymen, who RAN from the danger?
I kinda doubt Lord Obama and his regime is going to anything to these three young men. Too much publicity and all positive. any punitive action would be seen by the great unwashed as something bad.
But there is always Lord Obama’s minions in the media....................................
Just another example of the UNEXCEPTIONAL NATURE of Americans!
Move along...nothing to see here!
My french wife was reading the Paris papers and commenting on the heros and Frances appreciation - I told her being cowboys and heros are what Americans do best, she agreed.
American professor Mark Moogalian (above) was today revealed to be the first hero passenger who tackled gunman Ayoub El-Khazzani on board a high-speed service from Amsterdam to Paris
Nice!
The French President also didn’t have any problem identifying the attacker as a radical Islamic terrorist.
Some fine wines and cheeses. :)
I can understand the French guy who confonted the vermin first in not wanting to be identified since he resides there with packs of these scum.
Have to also credit the anon Frenchman. He was the initial confronter and fought hard. The struggle he and the American Prof had with the perp might have been part of the reason the guns jammed and malfunctioned.
