    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      None of the actors portraying the Pima in credited roles are Native American in real life.
    • Goofs
      Ira Hayes was awarded the Parachutist Badge upon his completion of jump school, which he attended after his boot camp training. Later he earned the Presidential Unit Citation for his combat actions in the Pacific. Yet neither of these awards appear on his uniform after he returns to the United States for the war bond tour. (However, his uniform does correctly include ribbons for the American Campaign Medal and the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal.)
    • Quotes
      • James Sorenson: [to Hayes kiddingly] If you're about to kiss me, banjo butt, I can tell you you're the wrong type.
