   I have an original field photo taken of this event. My Uncle Bill Vance was in the Seabees assigned to Iwo Jima. He was friendly with and knew Joe Rosenthall. When this picture was taken, I am told the film was flown to Guam and developed. After it was returned and reviewed, the film was forwarded to Washington. One of the review photos was given to my uncle who mailed it to my Mother who kept it in our Family Bible until 1998. It was then sent to me as an heirloom. I still have this picture in a safe deposit box. I have often wondered what it may be worth, and it is such a document that there should be some interest is preserving it further. I am not sure how many of these pictures there are in original condition and size. If you could shed some light on just who I may contact to pursue this further.
   Thank You.
