Perfectly wounded : a memoir about what happens after a miracle / Mike Day with Robert Vera ; foreword by Admiral William H. McRaven.
On the night of April 6, 2007, in Iraq's Anbar Province, Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike Day, his team of Navy SEALs, and a group of Iraqi scouts were on the hunt for a high-level al-Qaida cell. Day was the first to enter a 12x12 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. While in the hospital, the Navy SEAL lost fifty-five pounds in two weeks. It took almost two years for Day to physically recover from his injuries, although he still deals with pain. Like so many veterans, Day was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury - the invisible wounds of war. This is the remarkable story of an American hero whose incredible survival defies explanation, and whose blessed life of service continues in the face of unimaginable odds.
