French President Francois Hollande has given the country’s highest award -- the Legion of Honor -- to three Americans and a Briton. The four men stopped a heavily-armed gunman from killing people on a train Friday.

Mr. Hollande said the actions of the men are, in his words, “a message of courage, solidarity and hope.”

Spanish officials say the attacker is a 25-year-old man from Morocco. He reportedly was in Syria some time during the past year.
