Here is a picture I took of my friend Mike Day long ago I just heard the news of his passing. If you don’t know who Mike is he is a SEAL on April 6, 2007, in Iraq’s Anbar Province, Mike & his team of Navy SEALs, and a group of Iraqi scouts were on the hunt for a high-level al Qaeda cell. Day was the first to enter a 12×12 room where four terrorist leaders were waiting in ambush. When the gunfight was over, he took out all four terrorists in the room, but not before being shot twenty-seven times and hit with grenade shrapnel. Miraculously, Day cleared the rest of the house and rescued six women and children! before walking out on his own to an awaiting helicopter, which flew him to safety. 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.
Heard that Navy SEAL Mike Day took his own life. In 2007 he survive 27 GSW’s. This was a great man and a true hero. My heart goes out to his family. Don’t even know what else to say. RIP SC Day.

Mike Day was a warrior. A SEAL’s SEAL who epitomized our ethos. Mike’s heroics in combat are legendary. Please pray for his soul and may he find well-deserved peace in the afterlife. If you wore a Trident, today is a good day to check on a teammate.
