Lauri Torni - The definition of a warrior
I'd never heard of him until I stumbled across this video whilst wandering idly through the YouTube forest.

Absolutely camo. Arthur Walker is fondly remembered by many for his ridiculously brave actions.

Lauri/Larry had this thing we Finns call "sisu", our national character.

Re: Lauri Torni - The definition of a warrior
Tango Sierra,
Larry Thorne has been one of my hero's for years. Anyone wanting to know more about him can read "Soldier Under Three Flags" by H.A.Gill III, Pathfinder Publishing, Ventura California U.S.A. ISBN 0-934793-65-4
It is a 200 page paperback and a great read.

A bit of fun trivia... Lauri Törni is the only Finn portrayed by John Wayne: Col. Mike Kirby in The Green Berets (1968) is based on Lauri.
