I completed the code:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Code is POSIX compliant

tput clear

currentDate="$(date -R)"


counter=0

for word in $currentDate
do

  # We ignore the day of the week.
  if [ $counter -eq 0 ]
  then

    counter=$((counter+1))
    continue
  fi


  # We store the day of the month.
  if [ $counter -eq 1 ]
  then
    dayOfMonth=$word

    counter=$((counter+1))

    continue
  fi

  # We store the name of the month.
  if [ $counter -eq 2 ]
  then
    month=$word

    break
  fi

done


dayOfMonth=$(echo "$dayOfMonth" | tr --delete 0)


day1="$month $((dayOfMonth-5))"

day2="$month $((dayOfMonth-4))"

day3="$month $((dayOfMonth-3))"


echo "day 1: $day1"
echo "day 2: $day2"
echo "day 3: $day3"


exit 0

It outputs:
Code:
day 1: Feb 3
day 2: Feb 4
day 3: Feb 5
