Vietnam POW Print

[Fly Navy]

Anyone know where I can get a print for this photo?

Can you use photoshop? I can help you convert it to a print using photoshop and then you can take it to Kinkos to print.

Unfortunately I don't have a high resolution copy, otherwise that would be great.

Is the copy I am looking at right now the only copy you have? If yes, then I can work with it.

Try the national archives online. I think they might have a copy of that one... If you do enough digging you might be able to find it, and all you have to do is send in a request and they'll send you a print of it for just the cost of the print.

i just saw that the other day-- online-- and i can't remember where...

if it helps you, that guy is ... i want to say an ltcol or a col in the air force, and was a pow for... 6 years. the caption said something about him being 'greeted by his family'.

i pulled up the properties on the photo you posted, and if that website belongs to the original photographer, this is it:

http://speignerphoto.com/artist.html (or, rather-- http://speignerphoto.com)

he was part of the u.s. army special photographic detachment, pacific. not sure if he has the rights, or the army does.

you could always shoot him an email.

i'll let you know if i remember where i saw it.

I don't know if you're still looking for this - it's an AP photo. The photographer's name is Sal Veder; he won a Pulitzer for the picture. The picture is Lt. Col. Robert L. Stirm being greeted by his family at Travis AFB, caption "Vietnam Released POW", 3/17/1973. I'm sure there are framed prints out there, although they may not be cheap.

Here's a spot to buy it (thanks to Cate figuring out who it was ...). Appears to be a limited edition at:

Or you could get it directly from AP at:

Use the following info: "Pulitzer Prize in 1974 -Slava (Sal) Veder, for a picture of a U.S. Air Force officer being greeted by his family after being held a prisoner of war in Vietnam. "
