Spencer Stone Biography

On August 21, 2015, Staff Sgt. Spencer Stone demonstrated what it means to act heroically under pressure. Alongside his childhood friends, Stone confronted a heavily armed attacker on a Paris-bound train. Without regard for his own safety, he tackled and subdued the assailant, preventing a potential mass casualty event. This act of bravery not only highlighted Stone's courage but also his quick decision-making in critical situations.

Former Air Force Staff Sgt. Spencer Stone's life was forever changed by the events of that day. His decisive actions aboard the train were recognized both in the United States and internationally. Notably, Stone received several prestigious awards for his heroism including the French Legion of Honor, the Airman’s Medal, and a Purple Heart. These accolades were presented as a testament to his selflessness and bravery. Beyond the immediate recognition, his story reached a wider audience through the book "The 15:17 to Paris," co-authored by Stone, which was subsequently adapted into a film directed by Clint Eastwood, with Stone playing himself. The film, released in February 2018, further commemorated the heroic deeds of that day.

Stone's capacity to inspire extends beyond his acts of bravery. His personal narrative is enriched by his recovery from a life-threatening assault in Sacramento, CA, where he was seriously injured defending a friend—demonstrating resilience and the ability to overcome personal adversity. This narrative of courage, community, and resilience resonates deeply, making his presentations impactful and empowering for his audiences.
