Ira Hayes was a Pima Indian born in Sacaton, Arizona in 1923. He enlisted in the Navy during World War II and is best known for raising the American flag at Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945, an event immortalized in a famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal. Despite becoming a war hero, he struggled with the public's perception of him and fell into alcoholism. Hayes drowned in a canal in 1955 after a memorial event for Iwo Jima attended by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His life inspired the film 'The Outsider' and the song 'The Ballad of Ira Hayes.'
