I remember that he appeared on a few of the military channel episodes.
A true gentleman and gentle man.

Brokaw's been right *once* in his entire career...when he coined the phrase “The Greatest Generation”.Colonel Day has certainly earned *that* title.

Awww, NO!
Being outside of Montgomery, Alabama, and the last base I was stationed at was Maxwell, AFB, and as Maxwell is the home of Air University; Colonel Day would often attend the annual Gathering of Eagles event that AU put on.
I've seen and spoken to the good Colonel. He is one of my true heroes!
Sir, I salute you, and morn your passing! Fly up to God now, Sir! "Eagles up!"

More on Col. Day:

My dad was flying the F-105 over North Vietnam when Day was shot down. Every time a pilot went down, regardless of the home base, the news traveled fast. RIP Col., say hello to my dad and all the other heroes who have taken their final flight west. Two nickels on the ground. One for Col. Day and one for Col. Dad.

I think he was acquainted with my brother, who is buried at Barancas. May he rest in peace.

He and his generation of warriors were so short-changed and betrayed by politicians. God Bless him and all the Viet Vets!

I will be reading Coram’s “American Patriot”.
The horrific abuse these brave men experienced & survived with faith locked in their hearts astounds me.

RIP Colonel Day.
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward Ive climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovring there
Ive chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
Ive topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind Ive trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
