American Patriot Among War Heroes - The Story of Bud Day



Digital Photography Secretsby David Peterson Click Here!

As a fighter pilot who saw my share of combat while the Vietnam War, I idea I knew Medal of Honor recipient Bud Day. After all, I was once a member of the elite combat unit he formed to guide a hidden war along the Ho Chi Minh trail while the late 1960s (A unit generally referred to as "Misty" their call sign in combat). But after reading "American Patriot," I realized I was dead wrong. Robert Coram's book profiles a man with a seemingly inexhaustible stockroom of controlled courage and an unimpeachable sense of honor - all of which he gladly settled at the disposal of his country throughout his life.

The book is determined detailed and written in a manner that even the "great unwashed" who were not fighter pilots can understand. The descriptive scenes tantalizing his torture as a Pow are painful to read at times, yet I know that they were not exaggerated; and that's what makes them all the more disturbing.
 
The words "honor," "integrity" and "heroes" have been trivialized in our community to the extent that few habitancy know or care what they mean any more. In an ideal world, these subjects would be adDressed in school, or at least discussed at home. But we do not live in a perfect world; that's why I advise that "American Patriot" be required reading in every high school and college in America. This is a profound and tantalizing book about a man who history will recognize as one of the great American heroes of his time.
