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.

My hats off to all you cats that went into combat , i thought for sure i was going to Vietnam but thankfully politics of the day interceded in my favor & the war ended.

From my generation of the 60's & 70's theres 2 songs that allways remind me of the war & thats CCR Fortunate son & Ohio by CSN , man there was so much music back then based on the war .

Another thing from my generation i'll never forget is at the protests blacks would have signs that said " No VC ever called me a Nigger & that shit really hit home with me back then .
