Hero Airman That Stopped Terror Attack On French Train Nominated For Air Force’s Highest Award For Bravery Outside Of Combat
The Air Force will nominate Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone for the Airman’s Medal, the highest award for bravery outside of combat, the service’s secretary said Monday.
Stone, together with Oregon Army National Guard Spc. Alek Skarlatos, a civilian friend and a British civilian, halted a gunman on a passenger train from Amsterdam to Paris last week, tackling him to the ground before anyone was injured in the attack.
“Had it not been for this heroic quartet, I’m quite sure that today we would be sitting here discussing a bloodbath,” Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James told reporters during a briefing at the Pentagon.

I heard he also qualifies for the Purple Heart for being wounded in a terrorist attack.

There should be no nomination, it should be a done deal just like the France awarding them the Legion d'honneur.

Yes. He qualifies for both awards. Actually this could be considered armed combat so instead of the Airman's Medal he could qualify for a combat award.
