French President Francois Hollande awarded the Legion d'Honnerus to the five men who helped tackle and subdue a gunman on a train en route to Paris, mid-August. "The entire world admires your courage, your sangfroid, your spirit of
solidarity," said Hollande. "This is what allowed you to, with bare hands —
