    Default No. 24 is no more

    One of this little country's very finest has passed today.

    Gunnar Sonsteby (Sønsteby) known by most Norwegians as "kjakan" (the chin), died today at the age of 94.


    He was a member of the Norwegian resistance during the second world war.
    Many fought against the Nazi's, few as hard and as well as this guy.


    As the most decorated Norwegian ever, he has held a very special place in our history and culture.


    Among the many distinctions given to him, he was the first non-American awarded the United States Special Operations Command Medal in 2008.


    rest in piece old man, and thank you!
