President Obama on September 17 met with Spencer Stone, Alex Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler, who together helped subdue a gunman on a crowded Paris-bound train on August 21. Obama made short remarks afterward. “Because of their courage, because of their quick thinking, because of their teamwork, it’s fair to say that a lot of people were saved and a real calamity was averted,” he said, noting the three had received the French Legion d’Honneur.
