George Everette Day lahir pada 24 Februari 1925 di [[Kota Sioux, Iowa|Sioux City]], [[Iowa]], sebagai anak kedua dari pasangan John Edward dan Christine Marie Larson. Saat duduk di sekolah menengah, Jepang melancarkan serangan terhadap pangkalan laut Amerika Serikat di Pearl Harbour. Terpicu akibat hal ini, Bud memilih untuk keluar dari bangku sekolah dan mendaftarkan diri dalam angkatan bersenjata Amerika Serikat yang saat itu memang tengah merekrut tentara untuk keperluan Perang Dunia Ke-II. Ia kemudian terdaftar di [[Korps Marinir Amerika Serikat]] pada 10 Desember 1942.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.veterantributes.org/TributeDetail.php?recordID=16|title=Veteran Tributes|website=www.veterantributes.org|access-date=2020-06-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230415/http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/Sections/TVNews/Nightly%20News/photos/bud%20Day%20Article.pdf|title=Col.
