Tällä viikolla (28.5.) tuli kuluneeksi 100 vuotta Mannerheim-ristin ritarin ja kolmen maan armeijoissa palvelleen Lauri Allan Törnin syntymästä. Ruotsalainen power metal -yhtye Sabaton teki vuonna 2014 ilmestyneelle “Heroes” albumilleen Lauri Törnistä kertovan kappaleen “Soldier of 3 Armies”.
Started out as a reserve
Soon promoted well deserved
And the legend has begun
With a bounty on his head
The Red Army wants him dead
Soviet enemy number one
Cross of Mannerheim!
Addicted to the war game
Never ending fame
Victory reclaimed
Oh, we remember
We remember, we remember!
Shout! Lauri Törni’s name
A soldier of 3 armies knows the game
Deeds that echo from the past
Rise! from beyond your grave
Son of Finland and a green beret
May you rest in peace at last
Lauri Allan Törni
Crossed the water a new start
War still beating in his heart
A new legend has been born
Started out as a reserve
Soon promoted well deserved
Changed his name to Larry Thorne
Cross of Mannerheim!
Addicted to the war game
Never ending fame
Victory reclaimed
Oh, we remember
We remember, we remember!
Shout! Lauri Törni’s name
A soldier of 3 armies knows the game
Deeds that echo from the past
Rise! from beyond your grave
Son of Finland and a green beret
May you rest in peace at last
From the Finnish lakes
Into Germany and USA
All the wars he came across
Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross
A Bronze Star, Purple Heart
One Distinguished Flying Cross
Shout! Lauri Törni’s name
A soldier of 3 armies knows the game
Deeds that echo from the past
Rise! from beyond your grave
Son of Finland and a Green Beret
May you rest in peace at last
Lauri Allan Törni
