The story of the death of the Indian Ira Hamilton Hayes, who was photographed as a memorial and a memorial cather market, began in Arizona, the people of the Ira tribe. As they migrated to an area along the Gila River, their ancestors plowed the land and cultivated cotton. They lived and died without causing harm to anyone! .. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, the tribe was known for its love of peace, and its men killed any white man in their lives and did not flay, scalp, any settler, and never attacked any railway.

And in the west, on both banks of the Mississippi, the immigrants breathed a sigh of relief when their wagons reached the Gila River region, where the land of the Pima Indian tribe was good and fertile.
And the men of the Bima tribe began to resort to killing only when they came into contact with America of steel and the puritanical America. Militants in religion and behavior, which used to train its men in military matters, the men of the tribe. Pima Indians participated in the war in 1848 against Mexico, and they fought during World War II on all battlefields, whether in Europe or in the Pacific Ocean.

descending cloud.
And then Ira Hamilton Hayes showed a desire to kill every Japanese between Tokyo and Bougainville.
At first, people back home considered his words merely messages from a young man proud of being a Marine and fighting for his country. Later on, Hayes became more militaristic. His relatives knew that he had turned into a man who found great pleasure in shooting the Japanese!!!
February 23, 1945, the day the United States erected a memorial to Ira Hamilton Hayes, was one of the most bloody days in World War II.

When Joe Rosenthal climbed the summit, the wind was still blowing up the mountain and the Marines were swarming. Some were pulling wires for observation posts, others were taking souvenir photos, and a third group took down the flag from the sari and tore it into small pieces and distributed its parts to all those present as a souvenir. Then he brought a large flag that had been replaced with the original one and for a souvenir photo shoot that photographer Joe Rosenthal would send home. The incident of raising the flag was re-enacted with another, larger flag, and with other soldiers. Thus, these were chosen from among the six Marines who represented the occupation and raised the flag with cries of victory while shaking their guns with joy and ecstasy. Ira Hamilton Hayes was one of these six.
On the same day, Joe Rosenthal, the war photographer, sent his films for routine endorsement to a military laboratory on the island of Guam, and then the incident was forgotten. The bloody coming weeks Ira Hamilton Hayes was one of the other three who survived and was once again with the US Marines somewhere on the Pacific battlefields in order to kill as many Japanese as he wrote in his letters (!

The Pentagon - the US Department of Defense - through propaganda officers browsing thousands of photographs that correspond to the last propaganda battle in order to sell debt securities for the war.. The image of Joe Rosenthal, of which millions of dollars were sold in the meantime Copying, seemed to be the most appropriate image for the campaign.

Joe Rosenthal's image appeared on the three-cent money stamp and was copied onto butter. And on the hamburger. And on sandstones, and on ice cream
One hundred tons of it was poured for a memorial in the Soldiers' Cemetery, Arlington.
And in May of 1945 every American wanted to pat the hand of the hero of Ivo Jima, and everyone wanted to pat him on the shoulder, and everyone wanted to offer him a drink.
The Indian Ira Hamilton Hayes, a member of the US Marine Corps, was everyone's favorite and beloved person. Once a bar owner said to Ira Hamilton Hayes, "Listen, boss, listen." You must know that you have become what they call a symbol. Take a break and drink... Every American wants to give you his love, appreciation and gratitude, and also to give you a drink if you are happy and drink!!! .
The victory of Ira Hamilton Hayes was not permanent, and the more he lessened and disappeared, the more Hayes drank, in order to enjoy at least the euphoria, the feeling of happiness that was fading away. Indian the. The drunk Bima flipped out of the car.
On a publicity tour for IWs in Chicago, Ira Hamilton Hayes disappeared for the first time.
The soldiers who followed him found him after a long search in a bar, so they returned him.
Few people realize that Hayes is a man destined to perish for the greater good.

And no one understood that the Indian had no power of resistance, and no one saw that Ira Hamilton Hayes was ashamed of himself, because he was a false hero, and he suffered and suffered so much from it.
And in September of 1946 the hero, the memorial, was back! To the Bima region, he returned to live again in Adobe Hause, which he left four years ago.
He worked as a cotton harvester in the fields on the banks of the Gila River and enjoyed the admiration and appreciation of his countrymen.
But things were getting worse for him, but he didn't know it yet, and he only wished for one thing, which was to dream again of the wonderful dream he had had, the dream of the beautiful nights at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, the dream of good white America, the dream that was pressing on his heart, the dream of a fancy Ford.
Ira Hamilton Hayes needed money and his Pima tribe built a tourist trap for him to make his dream come true.

Such traps for tourists are known to every motorist who passes his car across the US states. These tourist traps are a gold mine for the residents of the region. and especially in the rural areas, though they offer tourists nothing but a gas station, refreshments from automatic cans, a musical instrument, Hamburgers, souvenirs or typical memories..
Wasn't Ira Hamilton Hayes the greatest living war memorial in the United States of America?
The Pima men called their tourist trap the Trading Post, and it didn't get any better in the US. In front of the entrance to the station was a statue of Labra Hamilton Hayes with the flag, Ivo-Jima. And during the night, the memorial was lit by floodlights completely, like a doll in the front of a major store in Las Vegas, and there are signs pointing from miles from the border to the settlement, to the famous man, and he wrote on the boards and signs.

Watch the Indian of the US Marines who raised the American flag over Ivo Jima, witness the biggest Indian hero in the United States, photos of Ira Hamilton Hayes, the world famous Indian leader, the falling cloud!!
As for the tourists, the Indian leader - the descending cloud must wear the combat dress of the US Marine Corps, and stand in front of the photographers' lenses, and he would raise and then lower the flag, give signatures on the Ivo-Jima postcards .. on the Altamhawk » - a war ax of the Indians of America - and on, Bezels, for scalping, and on children's guns, and every American who wants to offer him a glass of beer should drink with it with goodwill, and the policemen in Arizona treated the Indian as a living monument.
And the women of the bars used to offer him the secret of “gingers” instead of beer, and the policemen offered him coffee when they used to take him with them to the police station to get rid of his drunkenness.
As for the drivers, they transported him free of charge to the settlement.
The justices of the peace used to call the settlement by phone, saying: Raise the flag! second in the city,
Come and take it! .

And now and then Ira Hamilton Hayes would travel, at the invitation of the famous sculptor Felix Du
Weldon (Felix de Weldon), who was working on the bronze statue in the Soldiers' Cemetery in Arlington, Washington.

- Ira Hamilton Hayes was not drunk at the time, but Weldon found only a small resemblance to the muscular man in the famous photograph. Taken by the war photographer Joe Rosenthal, and the man standing now in front of him is an Indian, a Bima, who now weighs one hundred and five kilograms, as he has turned into a flabby man shivering.
The very serious attempt to save the life of Ira Hamilton Hayes was made in 1953 by social workers from Arizona who mediated for him at a training center in Chicago. And in the letter of recommendation that was provided to the Indian, it came: We send to you the biggest Indian hero, Ira Hamilton Hayes, because he is unable to arrange his affairs with the media.
He's been drinking heavily since leaving the US Marines. Ira wants with all his heart to stop drinking, but feels guilty for raising the flag at Ivo-Jima.. Ira Hayes knows that his fellow Marines know he's a big liar! .

When Ira Hamilton Hayes got off the train in Chicago, Joe Rosenthal's colleagues in the profession—the paparazzi—were standing at the station, and one of the social workers later said, "The poor dog had no chance." Journalists had also discovered his address and published it as the address of the International Harvester Company, where Ira Hayes was to learn the trade of turning. And so the post office piled up with autograph collectors asking for Ira Hayes' autograph. When he left the company after the afternoon's training, the Patriots would seize him and take him to their parties.

Hayes often woke up to find himself in a police cell to get drunk, and the newspapers always ran pictures of him, the greatest of Indians, sitting on a bar stool drunk, sick and dirty.
And the last last chance that the United States offered to its hero was nothing but a human conspiracy of people with a bad conscience and journalists desiring publicity, Ira Hamilton Mays, who offered to sell him at auction!
And the Sun-Times newspaper was the one who had the idea to launch the largest campaign to save the living monument.
The race for the Grand Prix was won by a woman who was as iconic as our Indian hero and needed a driver: Eli Sabeth Ann Martin, wife of singer and actor Dean Martin. In October, Ira Hamilton Hayes traveled with her to Los Angeles.

The Martins had a great Ford and a Chrysler supercar, and a luxurious bed for him in a room
The gorgeous Beverly Hills four boys must be ferried across the boulevards of Los Angeles to racquet school and to the shopping but when dancing, to the ballpark, Hayes passes the oral test to drive, and out into the California sun, he finds waiting again the group that becomes his destiny: the Ira paparazzi. Hamilton Hayes didn't stand a chance and gradually people started to smell what really happened on Ivo Jima.
And one day, Ira Hamilton Hayes came across a US Marine on the street, and the latter took the initiative to beat him publicly in the street and called him the most horrible insults. False flag raiser! . In an interview with Ira Hamilton Hayes with Elizabeth Martin, he confessed to her, saying, “I am not a hero.

At the beginning of November 1954 he was IRA

Police in Los Angeles put the man, who had tears streaming down his cheeks, on a bus after paying for his ticket.
Ira Hayes traveled back to the area inhabited by his tribe, the Pima. . On the banks of the Gila River, and when he got off the bus there on November 11, the Phoenic Gazette wrote:
There was no reception for the hero - Efua - Gemma.. When he returned in the evening to the town, he found only photographers and journalists waiting for him at the station.
Ira Hamilton Hayes died on the night of January 23, 1955, as a result of drinking an excessive amount of alcohol.
When his fellow Pima Indians saw him alive for the last time, he was sitting on the dirty steps of Adobe House and drinking. And when they found him on the morning of the twenty-fourth of January, he was wearing the clothes that reminded of the memorial war picture on the memorial, a khaki military shirt and marine boots, and thus ended the story of the false hero who was made a hero by the American authorities despite his nose.
