The song you want is sung by Johnny Cash and I'm sure someone will post the words. Hayes was played by Tony Curtis in the 1961 movie "The Outsider." He took part in the assault on Iwo Jima in February 1945. After a detachment of marines had captured Mount Suribachi and planted a small flag there, nex day Hayes and five others planted a larger flag there. That event was captured by photographer Joe Rosenthal whose photo became an instant classic and is now recognised world wide. It served as a model for the bronze statue in Arlington Cemetery. Later three of the six were killed in combat and Hayes and the other two were sent on a tour of the States re-enacting the flag raising event. Sadly after being discharged Hayes drifted downhill into alcoholism and in January 1955 he was found frozen to death. A sad end for a hero.
