Thread Name: Lyr Req: Drunken Ira? / Ballad of Ira Hayes
Subject: RE: Drunken Ira
It's in the DT

He was one of the GIs in that famous picture of them raising the flag in Iwojima. (I believe they reshot that picture after the flag had actually been raised, with a different set of GIs - I don't know if Ira was in the first set or the photo set.)
