[pwjohn]

Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama on Saturday called the three Americans who overpowered a gunman on a Paris-bound train and congratulated them on their "extraordinary bravery," the White House said.

Spencer Stone, Aleksander Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler tackled, disarmed and subdued the assailant Friday after he fired shots and burst into their railroad car with an assault rifle.

The French always like to give little one ups when it comes to honors. Every time I went to LaFayette's grave on the 4th of July, the flower arrangement from the French government is always just a little bit larger than the one from the US embassy.

Every year. That can't be a coincidence.

French Hero gets a bigger display from the French than Americans....

He's a hero of the American Revolution moreso than of France.

and a French citizen,

Lafayette was a key figure in the French Revolution of 1789 and the July Revolution of 1830.

Seems he kept busy after he assisted us.

I think we can all agree the man was a total bad ass. I lay my own flowers at his grave every time I'm in Paris on the 4th. He earned it.
