Bud Day, whose full name is George Everette "Bud" Day, was a highly decorated and influential figure in the context of the Vietnam War. He served as a United States Air Force colonel and is best known for his remarkable resilience and courage as a prisoner of war (POW) during the Vietnam War.

Day's involvement in the Vietnam War began when he served as a forward air controller. He flew numerous combat missions, showcasing his exceptional skill and dedication. However, in 1967, his aircraft was shot down over North Vietnam, leading to his capture by enemy forces. This marked the beginning of his harrowing experience as a POW.

During his captivity, Bud Day endured immense suffering and torture at the hands of his captors. Despite the brutal conditions, he displayed extraordinary strength of character, refusing to provide any substantial information to his captors or betray his fellow prisoners. He became a symbol of resilience and resistance for his fellow POWs, many of whom drew inspiration from his unwavering determination.

Day's actions during his captivity earned him the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the United States, along with numerous other awards and honors. His story of survival, courage, and sacrifice has left a lasting impact on the American military community and beyond.

After his release from captivity in 1973, Bud Day continued to serve in the U.S. Air Force and contribute to various military endeavors.
