  • DOD, Army Help Set Scene for American Heroes in '15
    A6 APG News • Thursday, February 15, 2018 DOD, Army help set scene for American heroes in ‘15:17 to Paris’ movie U.S. ARMY PHOTO BY CAPT. LESLIE REED, OREGON MILITARY DEPARTMENT From left, Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone, Oregon Army National Guard Brig. Gen. William J. Prendergast, and Anthony Sadler pose for a photo outside the pre-screening of the movie “15:17 to Paris” at Century Arden 14 in Sacramento, California, Jan. 20, 2018. By Katie Lange Defense Media Activity WASHINGTON— Every year, Holly- wood releases a few blockbuster movies based on true stories of U.S. service members, and the upcoming “15:17 to Paris,” directed by thelegendary Clint Eastwood,is no exception. What makes this one unique, though, is that all three men who were the real-life heroes play themselves in the movie. The film “15:17 to Paris” is about Spencer Stone, Aleksander Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler — three childhood friends who stopped a gunman on a Paris-bound train in August 2015, preventing the loss of innocent lives. The trio was internationally praised for their heroics. Since Stone was an Air Force airman and Skarlatos was an Oregon Army National Guard specialist at the time, their military training helped guide them in their actions. That gets depicted in the movie too, so naturally, the Defense Department helped provide as much accuracy as possible. The bulk of the scenes involving Stone in his Air Force uniform were filmed at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, even though the movie depictshis time at Fort SamHouston, Texas. The filming at Robins only lasted one day, but it took nearly two weeks to build the sets and dress the base up to look like Fort Sam Houston.

The attack was thwarted by the brave efforts of US Service Members Spencer Stone, of the Air Force, and Alek Skarlatos, of the Oregon National Guard, along with Anthony Sadler and two others, a French national and a Briton who charged, tackled and subdued the suspect. The three childhood friends were vacationing in Europe and have since been awarded the Legion of Honor, France’s highest honor, for their roles in thwarting the attack. Air Force Airman Spencer Stone ran at the gunman and sustained injuries from Spencer Stone leaving the central hospital in Lille, France one day after the shooting multiple stabbings with a box cutter. An additional three people were injured in the attack, including one gunshot wound victim, who is in stable condition.

  • Huron Talk 2016 Welcomes International Terror Hero
    Huron Talk 2016 Welcomes International Terror Hero London, ON - HUC is pleased to welcome United States Air Force Sergeant Spencer Stone to Huron University College as part of the annual Huron Talk series presented by HUC’s Students’ Council. Sgt. Stone became an international hero when he and two friends helped thwart a gunman from killing passengers aboard a French train during the summer of 2015. Stone was lauded by French President Francois Hollande and President Obama, and was recently one of only 23 people invited to sit with First Lady Michelle Obama in her box during the President’s final State of the Union Address On August 21, 2015, while on a trip to Paris, Stone and his childhood friends, Anthony Sadler and Alek Skarlatos, stopped a potentially catastrophic act of terrorism. Stone subdued a gunman armed with a box cutter, a pistol, a can of lighter fluid, and an assault rifle with 300 rounds of ammunition as he tried to open fire aboard the crowded train. Stone said he acted in the interest of "survival" for him, his friends and everyone else on the train. Stone was awarded the Purple Heart and Airman’s Medal, the Air Force’s highest non-combat award, and received France and Belgium’s highest honours. “I was given the opportunity to do something good, and I took it,” Stone said. “It all worked out for the best, and I’m just happy with that.” The Huron Talk lecture series gives influential members of our global community the opportunity to discuss their experiences with the students of Huron University College and encourage them to initiate positive change in our community and the world.
