Thankful for Ira Hayes.I remember the great pride I had as a boy, and still have, for Ira Hayes Ira Hamilton Hayes (January 12, 1923 – January 24, 1955) was a Akimel O’odham, or Pima Indian, and an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian Community. A veteran of World War II's Battle of Iwo Jima, Hayes was trained as a Paramarine in the United States Marine Corps , American hero American Hero may refer to:
abbr. World War II WWII World War Two against ruthless power--evil power cloaked as "government." I was born during that time into the priceless liberty and freedom those men and women did so very much to help preserve, and who, to this day, go greatly under-appreciated by most Americans. I find the many "little" points (events and moral judgments) of history to be as important to discovering and understanding history's lessons as are the "big" events. THE NEW AMERICAN reports "little" events and facts of great importance found in no other major publication. I thank you for that! DAVID David, in the Bible David, d. c.970 B.C., king of ancient Israel (c.1010–970 B.C.), successor of Saul. The Book of First Samuel introduces him as the youngest of eight sons who is anointed king by Samuel to replace Saul, who had been deemed a failure. R. RAWLS Florence, Arizona |
