Colonel Bud Day.....USAF MOH Winner Dies
Colonel Bud Day was the most decorated Pilot in the USAF, shot down and held POW by the North Vietnamese, died recently.

All of the Military Services turned out to pay homage to a genuine Warrior!

See you on the Green, Colonel!

The US armed forces have and are developing some fine traditions.

Wonderful . . . what a nice thing to do for this modest, brave gentleman.

Doubly nice that his family got to see it too.

RIP sir.
