CEO Helps 3 Moms See Hero Sons Honored in Paris, Lends His Jet
Three American heroes were scheduled to receive the Legion of Honor, France’s highest award, last Monday. Their moms were invited to the ceremony, but had no way to get to Paris on time.
When a corporate pilot heard about the women’s plight, he called his boss and asked to borrow the company plane.
The heroes, Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler, along with two other men, took down a heavily armed gunman on a high-speed train in France on August 21.
Pilot Doug Perrill called Tim Boyle, CEO of Columbia Sportswear, to see if they could give the mothers a lift.
