Greeks! Proud father, Emanuel Skarlatos with sons Solon, Peter and Alek.
US National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, along with Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler were on a train from Amsterdam to Paris, where they successfully disarmed a heavily armed Moroccan terrorist.
That heroic response was triggered by thoughtless sacrifice, and on Skarlatos’s part, Greek genes.
Emanuel Skarlatos, an Oregon native, is proud father to brothers Alek, Solon and Peter, and hails from Greece.
His son’s heroic response helped save dozens of lives aboard the Paris-bound train.
For his gallant act, Alek Skarlatos was “rewarded” by an act of cowardice by a domain cybersquatter, who not only registered AlekSkarlatos.com but wants money for it.
What a douche! 🙁
Let’s hope President Obama will invite Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone – who was wounded in the attack – and Anthony Sadler to the White House.
“Let’s hope President Obama will invite Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone – who was wounded in the attack – and Anthony Sadler to the White House.”
There is a better chance that those hero’s get audited by the IRS than invited to the White House, at least under the current administration.
Μπράβο ,λεβέντη….
Brava .. Proud as a Greek-American also .. Brava !!
