Latest reports indicate that one of the men was Oregon National Guard soldier Alek Skarlatos.

[edit]
And the second man, who was wounded, has now apparently been named as USAF airman Spencer Stone.
If a moderator wishes to correct the thread title that would be alright

The gist of the story was right and it does appear you were right from the beginning . According to the report, Skarlotos is an Army man while Mr. Stone is reported to be in the Marines. Well, mostly right

They are now saying there were 3 men. It's always hard to know when reports are sketchy. The news people and reporters always get things screwed up although their initial reports were fairy accurate.
