Perfectly wounded : a memoir about what happens after a miracle
(Book)

On the night of April 6, 2007, in Iraq's Anbar Province, Senior Chief Mike Day, 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 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. It took almost two years for Day to physically recover from his injuries, although he still deals with pain. This is the story of an American hero whose incredible survival defies explanation, and whose blessed life of service continues in the face of unimaginable odds. -- adapted from jacket
