Not my words below. But, I met this American hero. He was a legend.
——————————————————————

Navy Seal Mike Day, took his life yesterday. Mike meant a lot to everyone and he deserved so much better than this ending. What he had overcome was monumental.

Mike was shot 27 times while on active duty in Iraq.

If you don’t know who Mike is he is a NAVY SEAL who on April 6, 2007, in Iraq’s Anbar Province he, his team of Navy SEALs, and a group of Iraqi scouts were on the hunt for a high-level al Qaeda cell that were targeting US troops and women & children. Mike was the first to enter a room where 4 terrorist leaders were waiting in ambush. When the gunfight was over, he took out all four terrorists, but not before being shot 27 times and hit with grenade shrapnel. By only a miracle and saving grace, Mike cleared the house and rescued 6 women and children before walking out ON HIS OWN to an awaiting helicopter which flew him to safety, he said “I wasn’t being macho, but I was afraid if they picked me up, it would just hurt more.” He details his story in his book Perfectly Wounded and there were plans to make a movie about this incredible HERO!

Mike spent his life giving back. He worked at the U.S. Special Operations Command Warrior Care Program – also called the Care Coalition, helping service members. He is a TRUE LEGEND and HERO by ALL accounts! He is pictured here with his Faithful K9 Herja…

Rest in Paradise Mike!
