Flags of Our Fathers
This is an mazing piece of work...it is a historical book written by son of one of the flag raisers in Iwo Jima. It is about his father and the other five men who raised the flag in that picture that day....he researched well and spent lots of money on it (what can i say money is important to a scot, and I'm one by blood, if not by birth), and it talks about the three boys who survived...including Ira Hayes. I really recommend this book to anyone interested in history.
