Colonel Bud Day is a great American hero ! Unfortunately, Inever met him , but reading about his life , especially as a POW in a horrible Communist North Vietnamese prison camp where he endured horribble tortures for amost six years, I ask myself howmany peole could have survive this . He even saved many comrades’ lives ( including Sen. John MCCain).

Being very attached to the U.S Air Force and U.S Army ( I was in the Army Reserves and R.O.T.C as a young student) , I feel so much respect and my prayers go out to his beloved family ad God bless his soul. Colonel Bud Day should be never forgotten by the American people since he had great faith in his country§ A great patriot!

I would have loved to sit in his presence and listen to the stories of his life. Can you imagine? Wow, I would have hung on his every word. Blessings to his dear family. He was a true American Hero!

I had the privilege of meeting Colonel Day, when he was assigned to the 33rd Tactical Fighter Wing in the early 70’s. I remember it being a morning when I was walking to the main headquarter building, and he was walking to the Maintenance Headquarters building, and our paths crossed. I did the normal salute, but for some reason, he stopped to ask how my day was going. We talked for a few minutes and then he was on his way. I had several encounters with Colonel Day after that, and he never fail to say hello to me. Being a young airman at the time, I felt very special a full bird Colonel would even remember a young airman, but he seem to remember me and acknowledge me with return salute and how are you doing!! Just a memory of my days gone by!!

Col. Day was a hero and a inspiration to all airmen. He truly had a love for America and took pride in his service to this nation. I only met him once and he made a strong impression on me. He spoke at my PME graduation and his words were profound. His leadership and example made me be a better person and appreciate the freedoms I enjoy. He paid a heavy price for all of us and he will truly be missed.
God speed colonel, I respectfully offer A final farewell salute to you.
