US service members who foiled train attack receive 'heroic welcome' at Ramstein

Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone is greeted with a "Heroic Welcome" as he and Oregon National Guardsman Aleksander Skarlatos arrive at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 24. 2015. More than 200 Airmen and their families came out to line the streets of Ramstein and thank Stone and his friends for their bravery. Stone, along with childhood friends Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, was recently honored by French President François Hollande with the French Legion of Honour for subduing an armed gunman when he entered their train carrying an assault rifle, a handgun and a box cutter. Stone is an ambulance service technician with the 65th Medical Operations Squadron stationed at Lajes Field, Azores. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Staff Sgt. Sara Keller)
