Am I the only one who ever thinks about Ira Hayes?

While I apolagize for my ignorance I just found out who he was , did a google search after i read your post

So I guess that is a yes. I am the only one that thinks about Ira Hayes. At any rate, I salute you for taking the time to look. I had a drink for him tonight. so did Archamedius.

I think about Isaac Hayes...does that count?

he was a bad mother...Shut your mouth!!!

what about Woody Hayes??

I once drank to my Hayes 2400 baud modem. Long live the BBS!

Never start threads when you are drinking heavily and reading over lists of fallen comrades.

although he did not state in the website, that the picture was staged, and not taken when they actually raised it...although the stories of those men and the troubles they went through were real

Yeah, he was dressed in proper military attire at the time =)

Actually, from what I had been taught in my military science history course, was that THAT flag raising was not staged as many people claim, but that it was a flag raising at another point on the same mountain, just not the tippy top.

Don't recall the specifics, so I am no authority.

Not staged. Just the only one caught on film during its first raising.

Just goes to show that Melee Professions kicked but even back then! Look at him! No Armor, no weapons, and not a scratch on him. Must've called the rest of them panzies as he leaped out of the plain without a parachutte!

Like Monty Python, I always enjoy some good satire. And that is good cultural event satire. Bring on the brave talking fish that saved us from a surprise attack during WW2! (no, not that one, that fish was eaten for treason)
