American & British Heroes Earn Legion of Honor Award

On Friday, Moroccan-born Ayoub El Khazzani boarded a high-speed train en route from Amsterdam to Paris. Ayoub carried an AK-47 weapon, a box cutter, a pistol, and more on the train and opened fire. Three Frenchmen and one British man caught wind of the attacker and jumped on him (and even used his own weapons against him).

The three childhood American friends and one British man restrained Ayoub and helped prevent any further damage aboard the train. While Ayoub’s attorney shared that he was only looking to “commit robbery”, the four honorable men believe Ayoub was ready to commit a terror attack. For their brave efforts, the four men won the Legion of Honor Award, an award created by Napolean Bonaparte to recognize leaders.
