Talk:Ira Hayes

message: I have a question about the portrait photograph of Mr. Hayes.  Why does it look like there is a police-lineup-style height chart behind him.  If this is indeed a picture take of him during an arrest, can we PLEASE find one of him in better circumstances. If I am mistaken about the photo, and it turns out to be a standard Marine thing to take a picture in front of a height chart, then I apologize.  Still, if I could make this mistake, then so could others, so we should still find a better picture.  Perhaps contact the tribe?  I'm sure they would be willing to offer a better photo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mrbinky3000 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I find it hard to believe that the reporter really asked how Ira liked "the pomp and circumstances"?  Not only does the question make no sense as worded here, but no one says that.  The phrase is "pomp and circumstance" (no plural), where circumstance means "3. attendant formalities and ceremonial" (Miriam-Webster online), not "facts and conditions connected to or relevant to an event", as implied by the plural form.  I know that this same apparent error is made in BBC's web archive, but I still find it hard to believe.  Joel Bastedo 23:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because you are thinking of "pomp" and "circumstance" rather than "pomp and circumstance", a shorthand way of referring to formal ceremony derived from its use in graduation ceremonies in the U.S. - BT 15:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Ira fell drunk in an irrigation ditch and froze to death, alone and forgotten by a country that had called him a hero. The ditch where he died was the single source of water that was provided for his people by the same government he'd proudly served.
There is an obvious bias here. It should be changed to simply state the facts. although morally the government should have done more, Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, should not decide.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.187.218.204 (talk) 02:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt that his death was due to "fame". He became a drunkard, like so many of his race. That is all.Royalcourtier (talk) 23:08, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Currently, I am engaging in an edit war with YahwehSaves (Talk|Contribs) and their sock puppet 75.79.31.20 (Talk|Contribs) (which is a common occurrence for their disruptive edits, see their contributions page), for their attempts to add unreferenced and uncited information. One issue is the Combat Action Ribbon, which wasn't awarded until 1969. YahwehSaves continues to add this information, among other unreferenced information, to the page, where I promptly revert the edit & invite them to discuss such edits here at the talk page. It is not my intention to keep factual information from being on this page, but I'm unable to find any references to Ira Hayes being retroactively awarded the CAR. As such, the edits made by YahwehSaves & 75.79.31.20 will be continue to be reverted if unreferenced.Bullmoosebell (talk) 02:22, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The flag raising was not "an event photographed by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press". In fact the photograph was of a re-enactment of the flag raising.Royalcourtier (talk) 23:09, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I know you suffered personal issues after the war. Many do. My dad served in the USMC & in Vietnam twice. He was Black. Like you & my father you're both up there with fellow Marines & other great souls. Don't pay any of those White folks any mind. My dad always said that White men only understand one language. That is VIOLENCE & hatred. Again, thank you.

message: In the article I just read it said Ira Hayes and five other Marines. I don’t know If it was the first or the second flag raising, but there was a navy corpsman it wasn’t all marines even though a corpsman is basically a marine they do everything we do, and then patches up so we can get out there and do it again….. 174.214.49.152 (talk) 02:31, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
