Perfectly Wounded

“A memoir that goes beyond war – one that shares a story of awe-inspiring resiliency, courage, healing, and love on a thousand levels.”–Major Scott A. Huesing, USMC (Ret.), bestselling Author of Echo in Ramadi“Inspiring…Readers interested in care programs for returning veterans will find Day’s account invaluable.”–Kirkus (Starred Review)“Mike Day is a walking miracle.”–CBN News“Mike Day is the living embodiment of the American fighting spirit, a true warrior who exemplifies intestinal fortitude, drive, and compassion. This book is a genuine display of the kind of ‘never quit, no matter the odds’ attitude that simply cannot be taught. PERFECTLY WOUNDED is the story of an American hero who always stayed in the fight, no matter what was thrown at him.”–D. McBurnett, US Navy SEAL (Ret.), author of Uncommon Grit: A Photographic Journey Through Navy SEAL Training“PERFECTLY WOUNDED is an incredible story, perfectly told. Mike Day not only takes the reader inside the life of a Navy SEAL, he expertly takes the reader inside the mind of a trauma survivor, as well. He does this without darkness or foreboding, and capably illustrates the meaning behind my favorite sentence in the book: ‘I have come to understand that if the experience of war does not profoundly alter you in some way, then you may actually have a problem.’”–Jason Kander, New York Times bestselling author of Outside the Wire“Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike Day’s battlefield incident showed tremendous courage, epitomizing the warrior ethos, but his real story of strength, honor, and bravery comes after his incident in the Anbar Province of Iraq. His tremendous intestinal fortitude and resiliency to not only overcome his serious injuries, but to then go on advocating the power of resiliency to those who need it most, is remarkable to say the least. He made the Special Operations Community proud by his actions on April 6th, 2007, but his ability to heal and his continued altruistic actions since that day should make all who live in this great nation even prouder.”–Kris “Tanto” Paronto, 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, bestselling author of The Patriot’s Creed
