Answer 8

I agree with Jeff's answer of Ira Hayes. He was the Native American immortalized in the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. He struggled so much in life, but he was a true hero. Another true hero was PFC Laurie Piestawa, the Hopi woman who died a terrible death in Iraq after being captured. She was the first Native American woman to die in combat.
