While on deployment in Iraq in 2007, retired Senior Chief Mike Day and his team set out on the crucial mission to locate a high-level al Qaeda terrorist cell in Anbar province.

While running point on the raid, Day was the first to enter a small (12' x 12') room defended by (four) terrorists who opened fire.

He managed to take one of them down as he started taking rounds himself. He kept firing, and dropped another terrorist who detonated a grenade as he went down.

(after his rifle was shot from his hands, his thumb nearly severed)...the skilled operator switched to his sidearm and started re-engaging the insurgents, killing the rest (including bludgeoning). Day had been shot a total 27 times, 16 found his legs, arms, and abdomen. The last 11 lodged into his body armor.

Nevertheless, Day remained in the fight and cleared the rest of the house (rescued 6 women and children) before walking himself to the medevac helicopter located close by.

“I was shot both legs, both arms, my abdomen. I mean you throw a finger on me, anything but my head I got shot there” — Day stated.

I am a female that thinks about war tactics (NO women in combat, etc. though), etc. I don’t read specific battle histories etc. though due to them being too graphic for me to handle, so I don’t often come across specific heroes’ names from wars America is in/has been in.

[Bill of Rights FIRST]

Amen!

[Bill of Rights FIRST]

Okay, will do.

[Bill of Rights FIRST]

Amen!

[Mr. Lucky]
