A1C Stone is actually the second airman to receive France’s highest honor in 2015. SSgt Gregory Swarz from RAF Lakenheath was honored for rescuing three French airmen from a fire at a Spanish air base in January. A Greek F-16 crashed into a French aircraft that was being refueled on the ground, igniting an inferno. Swarz rushed into the flames and pulled the French airmen to safety.

Maybe not quite on the level of thwarting a terrorist attack, SSgt Swarz is definitely a hero.
