By: Noah Nash   16 hours ago


One of the most highly decorated service members in U.S. military history has been posthumously advanced to the rank of brigadier general.

Col. George “Bud” Day was honored June 8 during a Heritage to Horizons summer concert series at the Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.

Day served as an enlisted Marine during World War II and an Air Force fighter pilot in Korea and Vietnam over a 35-year military career.
