The recent announcement of a new film reminded me of this 1961 film. Ira Hayes, like Audie Murphy, was a great American hero. Both came to unfortunate and tragic ends. Murphy's life was cut short by an accident. Hayes' life glorified his experience raising the flag on Iwo Jima. But he felt that his performance was a service and a natural consequence of his military duty. He felt guilty and it upset his entire later life. It was too bad that the Puma Indian (Hayes) was misused for extensive advertising and recruitment during and after WWII.
We can hope that all Americans will continue to remember and to praise their heroes and heroic military exploits in defense of our country and way of life that is again under attack by people who never contributed to or experienced the Renaissance or the Enlightenment.
