US Servicemen prevent Moroccan terrorist's train massacre in France

Hear on NPR news tonight that the US Military is considering issuing the two service members with an appropriate US award.

T-6, what is the US policy on wearing foreign decorations?
 
While there is a lot of international politics probably involved with the issuing of honours and awards to the servicemen and French citizens, I can't help but be impressed how fast it came about.  Wish our system was able to work that quickly. 
 
The Legion of Honor has been authorized for wear in the past.
 
The captured bad guy must be singing quite a song to French CT agents.Morocco and Spain began a security sweep rounding up 14 people so far.

Spain and Morocco have arrested 14 people in a joint operation targeting suspected recruiters for the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
One arrest was made close to Madrid, the others in various Moroccan cities.
Those arrested are suspected of involvement in a network to send fighters to areas of Syria and Iraq under IS control.
On Friday a Moroccan who had lived in Spain was arrested following a foiled attack on a high-speed French train.
Ayoub El-Khazzani, 25, originally from Tetouan in northern Morocco, arrived in Spain in 2007 and lived there for seven years, in Madrid and Algeciras, before moving to France.
He is suspected of having had contact with radical Islamists and had been put on a list marked as "potentially dangerous" by Spanish authorities. They flagged this up to French counterparts in February 2014.

BERLIN –  U.S. military authorities in Germany say Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone is doing well at an American military hospital where he is being treated for injuries suffered as he and others helped subdue a heavily armed gunman on an Amsterdam-to-Paris train last Friday.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center spokesman Chuck Roberts said Tuesday that Stone arrived at the facility in southern Germany the day before and seemed in good spirits, smiling and shaking hands with leaders of the U.S. military hospital.

He says Stone is being treated for a laceration to his thumb, for which a full recovery is expected with ongoing therapy, as well as a "non-critical" eye injury and more minor wounds.

It's not yet clear when Stone will be transferred back to the U.S.
 
This is awesome  :salute:

I fear when social media and the MSM turn on these people as they almost as do because later they will act like the average human.
 
Nice to see! Glad to hear that Spencer is on the way to a full recovery! :salute:

Just watched that on the news here.

They also mentioned that Skarlatos was enrolled at Umpquat Community Colledge, the site of the mass shooting last week, but was not on campus as he was participating on the show "Dancing with Stars".

If you watched FOX News cupper, that fact was telecast including the interview with Skarlatos the day it happened.

Catching up?
