Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I do not recall any of the names except Ira Hayes!.
The last survivor of that group died a few years ago, 1994!.
of the 6 men that raised the flag, only three survived the war!.

Probably the best known was an American Indian named Ira Hayes (there's a song about him, too)!. Google and/or wikipedia can give you more help than I can!.

"Ballad of Ira Hayes"

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Gather round me people there's a story I would tell
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
From the land of the Pima Indian
A proud and noble band
Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land

Down the ditches for a thousand years
The water grew Ira's peoples' crops
'Till the white man stole the water rights
And the sparklin' water stopped

Now Ira's folks were hungry
And their land grew crops of weeds
When war came, Ira volunteered
And forgot the white man's greed

[CHORUS:]
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,
Two hundred and fifty men
But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again

And when the fight was over
And when Old Glory raised
Among the men who held it high
Was the Indian, Ira HayesWww@QuestionHome@Com
