Military record

Richard Haynes served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. He participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima at the age of seventeen. In that battle, U.S. Marines hit the beach from small landing crafts under heavy enemy fire. While on the beach and firing at the Japanese, Haynes noticed a fellow Marine still in the water and wounded. Haynes left his position on the beach while under heavy enemy machine gun, mortar and artillery fire, went back into the water, picked up the wounded Marine, and brought him to a safer position on the beach where a Navy Corpsman came to the Marine's aid, saving his life. Haynes was decorated with a medal for his heroic actions during the battle.
