Ira Hamilton Hayes - Corporal, United States Marine Corps
On February 23, 1945, at age 23, an event occurred that would forever place Ira Hamilton Hayes, a full blooded Pima Indian, in this nation's history books. On a hilltop above a Pacific island, a small group of Marines struggled to raise the American flag to claim victory over the Japanese occupancy. As the flag was being raised, Ira rushed to help his comrades just as the photographer snapped what was to become one of the most famous pictures in history. That picture was the "Flag Raising At Iwo Jima". He never considered himself a hero and often said the real heroes were "my good buddies" who died during the battles. Ira Hamilton Hayes died on January 24, 1955 at the age of 32. He now lies in Section 34 of Arlington National Cemetery.
