Linda Howard

I met Ira Hayes when I was 12 years in December, 1954. I was living in Essex, CA (pop. 20) which is located 40 miles west of Needles, on Route 66. My father worked for the California Highways. My father was drinking at the bar when Ira Hayes came in. People started crowding around him and calling him a hero. My father rushed home to get me and my siblings to meet Ira. He said this is a once in a life-time experience and you will never have this chance again (how prophetic). When we approached him and my father said he wanted his kids to meet him,. His back was to us. He slowly turned on his stool and offered his hand. He did not say anything. I will never forget his face and eyes. He was obviously drunk but the pain and sorrow in his eyes was overwhelming and has haunted me all my life. He was uncomfortable with all the attention and I felt ashamed in intruding upon him and, somehow I knew he would not live very long, but I felt so fortunate to have met him. When my father came home, one day in January (one month later) and informed us that Ira has died from alcohol poisoning, I cried so hard and still do when I read or watch a movie about him.

THIS isJohnny cash 's version of THE BALLAD OF IRA HAYES. I never realized that he was in my mother's oldest brothers company. I dont know why I never connected the dots. I knew Uncle Reatus was a. MARINE and fought at IWO JIMA. Duh....I also knew that Marines weren't drafted. I. Certainly didn't connect him with raising the flag when the battle was won. Reatus has been dead for years. But....
He was one of the pall bearers for Ira. I CAN'T SEND. THE WHOLE STORY. so you will have to. go online and type in IRA HAYES. Evidently he is buried at Arlington.

As a youth, my father met Ira Hayes. He apparently worked on and off for my g-grandfather. He was described as hard working very nice guy. Unfortunately, war and lack of treatments for U.S. veterans lacked back then as (to a point) they still lack today. Although, he may of had a drinking problem... It was not whom he was. He deserves respect, love and honor. I'm to have words (a family oath of sorts) with anyone desrespecting Ira Hayes or any other war hero. Thank you for your service. All branches past and present.

This song was not written by Johnny Cash. It was written by Native Indian: Peter La Farge who recorded his own version and was friends with Johnny in the West village folk music scene and Cash and LaFarge were also alcohol, drug pals. If it weren't for Johnny recording the song, in 1964--it would be unknown, for though Peter recorded it, Johnny was the one with distribution. Peter died in 1965, a drug overdose/stroke, sadly, Thorazine, sleeping pills, provided by--Johnny Cash is what did Peter in. Peter was 34.

We had the alblum 'Bitter Tears' by Johnny Cash. I played it over and over, for myself and my children. This song bothered me, as did the rest of the songs. I am Canadian, but the things done to the natives of North America in both Canada and the U. S. cannot be undone. But we should remember their sufferings and trials with shame, even though perpetrated by the governments of the day. I truly respect Native peoples who were so badly disrespected. Who, but they, knew what was going on?

Yes, the feds did.

Thank you J. C. for the wake up call, although too late for the truly oppressed.

One of the big reasons I like Johnny Cash, even though he died when I was 2 or 3, is that he always spoke out for those who didn’t have a voice and deserved one. Prisoners whose conditions were horrid, soldiers fighting for a government that didn’t care about them, and Native Americans. Unfortunately, he never really brought up the plight of African Americans despite being at the height of his popularity during the civil rights movement. That’s definitely understandable though as his audience was primarily white southerners, so it basically would have been career suicide to pick a side in the movement. Great song and sung by a great storyteller.

Unfortunately Ira was one of many from that war who killed himself with booze when they got home. A long slow suicide. My father in law was another, it took him just over 25 yrs. to kill himself with brandy. He saw the worst of what Europe had to offer, and never received the five medals he was decorated with, they went to his widow and six kids. These men drank themselves to death trying to forget what they saw. And never talked about it.

It is an allergy to alcohol. Im Sioux. My entire family has it, so we dont drink. Im sure he was likely self medicating. My Uncle also fought on Iwo Jima- it was a nasty job they had to do as Marines, but they did it and they did it well

Crap, every time I hear this song, I break out in tears. Ira deserved so much better. As did all of those who served. I hate war, but if it is, well damn it, support and hold up those who had to serve.
