Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone meets Lt. Gen. Timothy M. Ray, 3rd Air Force commander and 17th Expeditionary Air Force commander, upon his arrival to Ramstein Aug. 24. More than 200 Airmen and their families came out to line the streets and thank Stone and his friends for their bravery. Stone arrived on Ramstein while in transit to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center for follow-on medical treatment. Stone received multiple injuries, all of which were non-life threatening, while subduing an armed gunman on a train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris. Stone, along with childhood friends, Aleksander Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, were recently honored by French President François Hollande for subduing an armed gunman when he entered their train carrying an assault rifle, a handgun and a box cutter. Stone is an ambulance service technician with the 65th Medical Operations Squadron stationed at Lajes Field, Azores.
