I bought and read this book after hearing Col. Day speak at the U.S. Air Force Museum. I knew he could only highlight his POW experience in the hour and a half he had to speak. This book is a true testimony of the faith and courage it takes to resist torture, terror, starvation and captivity while maintaining one's dignity and honor under the worst circumstances imaginable. One cannot read this book without feeling immense pride in America's fighting men.

Of the many Vietnam era POW accounts I've read, this one is surely the most in depth and graphic in its descriptions. All by and about "Bud" Day who vividly recounts his story in a pure class act manner. This guy's somewhere between John Wayne and Albert Einstein, but no doubt would be the first to insist he's just one of the many who did his duty.

Col. Day puts the reader there with him. This is the ultimate "American Hero" story. It becomes difficult not to believe that you are reading a Tom Clancy novel.

Return with honor is a book that every one should read.It is true story of a man that endured inhuman torture and returned with out revieling any military data harmful to his unit or the military as a whole. It is must read book.

Bud Day is, simply put, an American hero. We ought elevate men of his character and integrity rather than the spineless wonders who run this country. Bud Day - his name should be familiar to all patriots.

This book is written by a former POW of the Vietnam War. He was awarded the Medal Of Honor for his actions during an escape attempt. If you had any doubts at all about the cruelty and brutality of the North Vietnamese (communists), read this book and your doubts will no longer be. On September 18th, 1997, the 50th Anniversary of the U.S.A.F, I met this gentleman. He presided at my re-enlistment in the United States Air Force. A must read book for those who serve or have served. Colonel (ret) George E. (Bud) Day has balls of steel and the heart of an angel.
