I had looked before without success, but not since early this year. Looking for something else, I found this link to videos at the National Archives, available for downloading.
This is a 9-minute newsreel on the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, for one example, aboard the U.S.S. Missouri — on September 2, 1945, 62 years ago yesterday.
The National Archives videos promise to be great sources for classroom teachers.

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Yes, that picture is easy to find. Here’s one place: http://www.foxvalleyhistory.org/WWII/pre1941/china.htm
They got the picture from the National Archives.

Ah yes, the kids could use that. It’s not something anyone is likely to see on TV today, not at any length anyway. My parents had a book of photographs that had been published in Collier’s during the war. There are some famous ones related to the rape of Nanking and bombing of Shanghai. The latter includes one you probably have seen of an infant sitting in the street, burned and screaming. Hopefully someone picked the child up after the picture was taken. First things first.
The article of surrender was in there, too, with all the signatures. It was an impressive thing to see as a child. I don’t need to go there again, though I’m curious if the picture of the Shanghai child is on the internet. Now videos of the future, those I’d pay $9.95 to download.

If you do a search at the site on “eisenhower farewell speech” you can find Ike’s farewell speech where he introduces the term “military-industrial complex”. Be sure to see the 46 minute complete video, which if I remember correctly includes a reporter’s commentary after the speech.
