During the course of his military career, Bud Day won every
available combat medal, escaped death on no less than seven
occasions, and spent sixty-seven months as a POW in the infamous
Hanoi Hilton, where his roommate was John McCain. Despite
incredible torture, Day would not break. He became a hero to POWs
everywhere - a man who fought without pause, a prisoner at war.
Despite receiving the Medal of Honour and becoming the most highly
decorated American in uniform, Day found himself passed over for
promotion to Brigadier General, and he retired. But with his
children grown and a lifetime of service to his country behind him,
he engaged in his mightiest - and most surprising - battle of all.
One day in 1995, Day was told by his pharmacist that his pain
medication would no longer be free. He was furious and shocked;
after all, he and his generation of veterans were promised free
lifetime medical care when they signed on with the military.
Propelled by his conscience and sense of duty, he dusted off his
law degree and sued the U.S. government on behalf of 1.5 million
powerless veterans.
