Hero from Belgian Train Attack Joins Dancing with the Stars!

From ABC.go.com: “Army National Guard Specialist Alek Skarlatos has joined the Dancing with the Stars Season 21 cast!

Alek became a worldwide hero in August when he helped avert a massacre aboard a Belgian train. While on vacation after a deployment in Afghanistan, the 22 year-old sprang into action when an armed attacker began shooting on the train. Alek and two of his friends, Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone and student Anthony Sadler, disarmed and subdued the attacker, who was armed with guns and a box cutter.

The California native is an avid painter and military history buff. In between National Guard deployments, Alek studies at a local community college and plans to enter the police force. See Alek hit the dance floor on the MONDAYS at 8|7c on ABC.”
