@TheCatsClause101 One must consider that there was always TWO United States: the North and the South ( or maybe California and the USA). The open and the isolacionist. The Before WWII , and the After WWII. Nevertheless, a great nation .

you don’t know anything about Marine lore--Ira Hayes is as fondly remembered as any of the hundreds of thousands of United States Marine Corps members. Corporal Hayes story and picture is prominently displayed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
Of the six who raised the Flag three were killed during the battle Franklin Sousley, Harlon Block, and Michael Strank, three survived John Bradley US Navy, Rene Gagnon and Ira Hayes, US Marines.
Good Night Chesty, wherever you are!

Gung ho Gung ho Gung Ho



@kingslegion....Call a Marine a 'Jughead' and you'll prob'ly get knocked upon your young ass. My son was a staff sergeant in the corps for 6 yrs. The term is JAR-head. FYI

Ira Hayes was a REAL Marine on one of the ships at Iwo Gima what you dont realize is that we were getting desimated in thousands. Our troops had a 90% chance to die. This one band of troops battled up though iwo gima and raised our flag at the top of the volcano (Iwo Gima is a non-active volcano) our troops on the ships saw it and it made them think hell if they can do it we can. And it Pissed the Japps off and they started doing bonzai charges and sucide. This one band of troops truly saved us!
