Thank you guys! We will never forget your brave actions which surely avoided a mass slaughter in that Thalys high-speed train.

Your courage is now praised all accross France , and Belgium.

Bravo guys!!!!

1. Just a slight correction: They weren't Marines- one Air Force, one Oregon National Guard.

3. Great story! I actually like it being a Guardsman & Air Force.

It shows ALL of our military are well trained and responsive; running TOWARD trouble instead of away from it

2. Thank you for keeping your eyes open

and moving into action when the moment called for it!

4. You might want to edit that title to US servicemen.

One was National Guard and the other was Air Force.

5. It's wonderful! I feel personal pride in my countrymen when they jumped into action

to save all those people and risked their own lives. Just heard the news that the injured serviceman will be released from the hospital. I hope he will be OK and doesn't have any permanent injuries.

Quiet heroes on vacation but were alert to danger -- a report said they overheard the attacker loading his gun in the bathroom. They must have recognized the sounds and were ready to take action when he emerged.

As three foreign people acted, now there is report from passengers that the train staff went to hide themselves...

I understand a Frenchman acted, as well.

Well done, and I'm very proud of our service men!

11. The BBC reports that 3 Americans and one Briton subdued the perp

The Frenchman broke the glass to sound the alarm.
