When Alek Skarlatos was visiting France earlier this year, he had no idea that his actions were about to make him a household name.
As a terrorist began to prepare to kill dozens of innocent people, Alek made history, along with two of his service-member friends, Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler, when they fought and subdued the terrorist before he could hurt anyone.
That courageous action got Alek France's highest honor, as well as international recognition and love from freedom-loving people from all over.
So when Alek was asked to be on the incredibly popular show Dancing with the Stars, he immediately agreed, citing that he wished to follow in the footsteps of fellow hero Noah Galloway.
Alek is doing quite well for himself on the television show, but when he was asked to do a waltz routine with his dancing partner Lindsay Arnold, the duo received their first perfect score when they paid tribute to freedom when they danced to "America The Beautiful."
Please watch the segment from their amazing dance routine; with everything that's going on in the world, it's no wonder why they got their perfect score. With the simple lighting, booming music, and beautiful flag waving in the wind, it's no wonder that everyone keeps calling this man a "class act!"
Please SHARE this inspiring video if you're excited to see him in the finals!
Army National Guardsman Alex Skarlatos eared his first perfect score of the Dancing with the Stars season with this waltz to "America the Beautiful" and I just love it! A patriotic and peaceful dance..
