You know Ira Hayes. He is one of the men raising the flag at Iwo Jima.
Johnny Cash has a whole album dedicated to American Natives called Bitter Tears. He was made an honorary member of the Seneca Indian Tribe for his work bringing awareness with this album.

Ira Hayes didn't actually raise the flag. He was made to do a second raising for a picture happy officer. The real raising of the flag was not photographed. Then the U.S. army pulled Hayes from duty and tried to force Hayes to go on tours stateside to raise money for war bonds. Ira felt so bad he left the "circus" and re-enlisted himself back into the war. That is what makes Hayes a real hero.

Just wanted to share something with my friends. I been a little under the weather so havent seen many of my friends lately. A dam good friend of mine who we call Bandit (lost his legs and right arm in Nam)came to see me yesterday. I cried when I saw him coming up the stairs.Yes I said coming up the stairs with both his legs blown off . He laughed and fired up a big fat joint as soon as he was in the door.I cant smoke yet because of surgery but I still had a wonderful day .I can how ever ingest some weed by other ways. He is still here by the way. Packing a bowl as I type. Just wanted to share. God bless you all.

Hayes actually was a US Marine. The flag raising was five US Marines and a Navy Corpsman. Also. he did raise the flag on Suribachi, the thing about the picture is..thats not the actual flag raising, its the second bigger flag being raised. Hayes died of alcoholism and freezing. after drinking he passed out outside in Jan 55 (i think) and just died. For more USMC knowledge visit your recruiters office today! hahah

EDIT: attached is the photo of the first flag raising.
