Reason
This is public domain footage from a film real operated by Bill Genaust as he shot the second flag rasing on Iwo Jima. The film size is small, but it shows the moment the marines and navy corpsman rasied the second flag atop suribachi, and in my opinion has high historical value, hence the nod at FPC.
