now to an nbc news exclusive. two of the heroes who stopped the attack on a paris-bound train speaking out together for the first time. mark moogalian was shot and wounded trying to stop the gunman. that's when u.s. airman spencer stone, a trained paramedic, jumped in, tackled the shooter and saved mark's life. spencer is with us from los angeles. mark joins us from paris. good morning. it is an honor to speak with both of you. mark, you were recently discharged from the hospital. you were shot. the only one who took a bullet. one of the first people to notice this person on the train acting suspiciously.

how are you feeling this morning? >> feeling good, all things considered. >> as i understand it ump sitting with your wife, isabelle. you noticed the gunman go into the bathroom, thought it looked suspicious. when he came out, there he was with the gun. what happened next? >> well, at that moment, i looked to my left and saw the young frenchman who wishes to remain anonymous. he jumped the guy first. the door in front of him closed. at that moment i turned to my wife, isabelle, and told her to get out of there. i said the same to some of the passengers behind me. the door opened back up and i went in. somehow managed to get the ak-47. i took maybe five or six steps and he shot me in the back. i saw the gunman had retrieved his gun and was walking down the aisle. i thought he was going to shoot me in the head at that point. so i decided just to play dead

and i closed my eyes. then i heard some noises. i opened my eyes just in time to see spencer's body flying through the air, tackling the gunman. >> let's bring in spencer stone to pick up the story from there. spencer, i know you had been sleeping. suddenly you see a commotion. you leap over mark and attack this gunman. what do you remember? >> i remember hitting him pretty hard. we both fell down. kind of reaching for the gun. i couldn't find it. so i put him in a rear naked choke to defend myself. my friends anthony and alek came up, took the ak from him. he pulled out the pistol, pulled it back, put it against my head, click, it didn't work. i guess the clip fell out beforehand. then we pried it out of his hands. that next thing i know i see he has a box cutter.

he started to slash my neck, cut my finger down to the bone. and then i started to scream, he's got a knife, get the knife. i put him in another choke hold, choked him unconscious, ran over to mark, put my fingers to his neck, stopped the bleeding. >> both of you had moments where you felt this was it, this is the end. mark, do you remember that moment? do you remember spencer leaning over you and helping you? >> i remember it very well, because he was talking to me, trying to keep me from losing consciousness. he asked me where i was from, toll told me where he was from. said after this is over we'll go get a beer. he kept me there. the sound of his voice and the sound of my wife kept me there, kept me alive, gave me hope.

>> spencer, in that moment you yourself are bleeding, as we now know your thumb was nearly severed off. what was going through your mind as you are trying to save another man's life, not knowing your own condition. >> i didn't feel my injuries. i was focused on mark. i didn't want him to die, especially with isabelle right there. >> everyone here is so, so proud of you both. so relieved that you were there. so relieved and amazed at your fearlessness in the face of something terrifying. we brought you together because we know you wanted to be together. mark, i know you wanted to talk to spencer directly. i will let you do that. >> spencer, i would like to tell you again, thanks for saving my life. i have said it already, but i will never forget it. i think you still owe me a beer. we'll have to get that done somehow. >> we'll get that beer. it will be under different circumstances this time. i'll see you soon, man. >> we certainly hope the beer

happens. >> sounds good. >> it's an honor to are you here to tell us your stories. thank you, mark moogalian and airman spencer stone. >> thank you, ma'am. >> thank you, savannah. >> amazing. >> nice to see them doing so well, too. >> they are doing well. can you imagine how much their lives changed in that instant? mark said he's feeling good. he likes to play the guitar. he's trying to get feeling back to do that. >> likes to drink beer, too. i like that. >> coming up, from shy truck driver to governor of mississippi? meet the unlikely candidate who won the democratic primary on a whim. >> and up next, serena williams's honesty on her quest for the historic grand slam. carson has tha you've gotta make better choices, jane! farewell, cookie dough ice cream. what's that you're drinking? it's trop50. it's fine. it tastes delicious and has 50% less calories. with this taste? no way. give me fifty squats.

still so many heroes today sacrificing to honor those who were lost. >> i think about the kids who weren't born and lost their parents who never got a chance. you see them when they ring the bell and they are under the age of 14. they never got to meet their mother or father. i think of the young men and women in elementary school who later went to war for this country after the images played out. i live near the freedom tower. i went out and you look at it. it represents the word we use so much in tragedy, the resilience of the nation. it is hallowed ground where the families go today. >> did you see the beautiful rainb rainbows? >> yesterday. coming out of one world trade. look at the picture. that's yesterday on september 10. >> that's the view from the new jersey side.

honorable man share his grief, that's part of the kindred humanity that we all go through something. maybe we learn through how he's dealing with it. >> you strip out the politics. forget what you hear. i can't urge you strong enough. joe biden is so raw. but stephen colbert who lost his dad and two brothers in a plane crash, ironically today, september 11, 41 years ago when stephen was 10 years old. there are two people who feel each oh's pain, who know where the other is coming from. it's a beautiful interview. >> i'm always obsessed with the chicken soup for the souls. you hear of a story and how a person finds the light at the end of the tunnel. i kept thinking of the stories i have read in the books. it's the spirit of you can move forward. that loved one wants you to move forward. >> absolutely. we'll move onto a different subject. serena williams continuing her grand slam quest. she's there in the running.

the truth is red wine especially in moderation is good for your heart health. this is important. a couple of weeks ago we reported on a study that said there could be a link between light to moderate drinking. today we'll look at the cardiovascular system. we are talking about red wine. it contains a polyphenol. you have heard of resveritrol -- or not. it's an antioxidant. it promotes cardiovascular health, stabilize it is arteries. good for you. raises hdl, lowers ldl. this is something to point out. this is a serving for women. one a day is five ounces. to demonstrate this is a double serving. ten ounces. this looks like a lot in one serving but you know how you repour, one serving a day for women, two a day for men. >> of red wine?

>> i try to get into dark chocolate. >> i love it. the more bitter the better. sleep. how much do you need? for most people watching the show today between the ages of 18 and 65 the number is 7 to 9. in february this past spring we reported on the national sleep foundation's new recommendations. good news for parents is they widened the intervals. if noyour newborn isn't sleepin as much as you would like it's probably okay. for the majority of people it's eight hours. too little sleep, disordered sleep can be linked to diabetes, heart disease, obesity. >> with school starting students aren't getting that. >> lastly sugar. big thing in the 1970s the sweet and low caused cancer in rats. we have debunked that. artificial sweeteners in moderation are healthy, so to speak. for the right person an artificial sweetener can be
