Happy Holidays to you as well. Are you hoping to capture a specific scene from the movie or are you trying to just show a clip to set up his speech? If it's the whole movie, I'd see if you could borrow/rent it. But if you're just wanting a clip to set up the speech, there are some great historical photos (http://www.archives.gov/research/ww2/photos/) available for free use. Also, the History Channel has some great resources (http://www.history.com/topics/battle-of-iwo-jima). Hope it helps...

The Video

Slide 11:

The photographer

Slide 12:

The photographer Rosenthal fell in the ocean the morning he took this picture. His camera did too. Rosenthal didn’t know he’d caught the picture – he just hoped he had. He piled up some loose stones, mounted them and focused on the band of Marines.

Slide 13:

The photographer Rosenthal is quoted as saying the photo was staged. He thought they were talking about this photo.

Slide 14:

The Video William Genaust took this video of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. Marine Sgt. William Genaust was killed in March 1945 on Iwo Jima.

Slide 15:

The Photograph It won: Joe Rosenthal a Pulitzer Prize; President Franklin D. Roosevelt the badly-needed support of the American people to finish off Japan; the Treasury coffers 220 million dollars in war bond sales when it was used as the symbol of the Seventh War Loan drive; unwanted fame for PFC Ira Hayes and PM2 John Bradley; welcomed fame for PFC Rene Gagnon; and, the U. S. Marine Corps a symbol that would memorialize its grit and tenacity forever.

The Photograph

John ‘Doc’ Bradley Doc is the face of the photograph. He is the most obvious person in the frame. He is the father of the author James Bradley.

Slide 19:

Ira hayes Ira was a Pima Indian from Arizona. He joined the service even though Pima Indians weren’t considered citizens. Ira died three months [after the dedication of the Marine Corp Memorial] after a night of drinking. As Ira drank his last bottle of whiskey he was crying and mumbling about his "good buddies." Ira was 32.

Slide 20:

Franklin Sousley Frank was happy. He enjoyed being with others. ‘…a fun-loving, playful boy.’ "My regiment took the hill with our company on the front line. The hill was hard, and I sure never expected war to be like it was those first 4 days. Mother, you can never imagine how a battlefield looks. It sure looks horrible. Look for my picture because I helped put up the flag. Please don't worry and write."

Slide 21:

Mike Strank Mike was a Marine’s Marine. ‘Can you tell that the man in back of him has grasped [his] hand and is helping…push the heavy pole?’ Two months before the battle Mike's Captain tried to promote him but Mike turned it down flat: "I trained those boys and I'm going to be with them in battle," he said.

Slide 22:

Harlon Block The Texan. A Seventh-Day Adventist. ‘…he continued to wrestle with his Adventist beliefs and their conflict with his military obligations.’ Harlon joined the military with his entire football squad. Originally mis-identified as Henry Hansen. Ironically, Hansen had taken part in the earlier, less celebrated flag raising on Iwo Jima and was killed by a sniper a few days later while being treated for wounds by Pharmacist's Mate Bradley.

Slide 23:
