I met him at an enlisted breakfast at Lajes Field back around 85-88 (the years I was there)
Still have a picture in my “stuff” somewhere.

Properly, references to him should be “Medal of Honor Recipient, Retired Air Force Colonel Bud Day”, in that order.
It could even be argued that if a Medal of Honor Recipient was elected President of the United States, that the Medal of Honor would still rank ahead of his title.

Not to discount his bravery in action, but I am most thankful for his heroism in saving us from John Kerry.
RIP, sir.

Both courage and grace come from a strong inner core. And this gentleman had a rock solid one.
Fly with the Angels, Col. Day!

God Speed, Colonel Day, Sir. You are a credit to your country and the United States Air Force. We are proud of you and salute you.
I had the privilege of working with the Misty FACs and knew some of them well. They were a great bunch of guys, the best, and their skill and courage were widely known by those of us around in those days. It was a very small unit, but it was full brave American men who risked it all day after day against a wily and tenacious enemy.
Here is a book written about them, Bury Us Upside Down, and of course Colonel Bud Day plays a prime role.

The Misty FACs had balls the size of cantaloupes. And the other group was the Thud drivers. Day was shot down FACing for a Thud, which was probably the single most dangerous mission profile a fighter pilot could fly in Vietnam.
