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 Attacks on Paris: Lessons Learned
White Paper THE ATTACKS ON PARIS: LESSONS LEARNED A Presentation of Findings Courtesy of HSAC and the Paris Public Safety Delegation June 2016 Prepared by QuinnWilliams, LLC 2 Preface The purpose of this white paper is to document the findings of the Los Angeles delegation that traveled to Paris in April 2016, to meet with key members of the Parisian law enforcement and intelligence communities, as they shared their lessons learned from the attacks on Paris in November 2015. The November 13 attacks were the deadliest on French soil since WWII. The terrorists targeted the Stade de France, restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements and the Bataclan concert hall. In a little over three hours, the nine attackers killed 130 and wounded 368. The Paris law enforcement community did a commendable job responding to coordinated, simultaneous attacks. The death toll likely would have been much higher if not for several key decisions made immediately after the attacks began. The Los Angeles delegation returned with a deeper understanding of the Parisian response and how these lessons learned can be best applied in the Southern California region. These findings are summarized in this "unclassified” white paper and presented to local public safety agencies in the Los Angeles area. This white paper was prepared by QuinnWilliams, LLC in coordination with the Los Angeles delegation at the request of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). 3 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................................

The Purple Heart: Background and Issues for Congress
The Purple Heart: Background and Issues for Congress Updated June 4, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42704 The Purple Heart: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The Purple Heart is one of the oldest and most recognized American military medals, awarded to servicemembers who were killed or wounded by enemy action. The conflicts 2001 to the present have greatly increased the number of Purple Hearts awarded to servicemembers. Events over the past few years have spurred debate on the eligibility criteria for the Purple Heart. Shootings on U.S. soil and medical conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have prompted changes to the eligibility requirements for the Purple Heart. Some critics believe that these changes may lessen the value of the medal and the sacrifices of past recipients on the battlefield. In the past, efforts to modify the Purple Heart’s eligibility requirements were contentious, and veterans groups were vocal concerning eligibility changes. While medal requirements are often left to the military and executive branch to decide, Congress is involved in Purple Heart eligibility, utilizing its constitutional power “To Make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces” (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, clause 14). The Carl Levin and Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (P.L. 113-291) included language that expands eligibility for the Purple Heart. Previous debates

The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes by Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone, Jeffrey E

Stern The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone, Jeffrey E. Stern An ISIS terrorist planned to kill more than 500 people. He would have succeeded except for three American friends who refused to give in to fear. On August 21, 2015, Ayoub El-Khazzani boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. There could be no doubt about his mission: he had an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter, and enough ammunition to obliterate every passenger on board. Slipping into the bathroom in secret, he armed his weapons. Another major ISIS attack was about to begin. Khazzani wasn't expecting Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone. Stone was a martial arts enthusiast and airman first class in the US Air Force, Skarlatos was a member of the Oregon National Guard, and all three were fearless. But their decision—to charge the gunman, then overpower him even as he turned first his gun, then his knife, on Stone—depended on a lifetime of loyalty, support, and faith. Their friendship was forged as they came of age together in California: going to church, playing paintball, teaching each other to swear, and sticking together when they got in trouble at school.
