This Senate resolution recognizes the 80th anniversary of Stars and Stripes newspaper beginning continuous operations in the Pacific region on May 14, 1945, during World War II. The resolution honors Stars and Stripes as the "hometown newspaper" that serves U.S. military personnel, Department of Defense civilian employees, veterans, and their families stationed around the world. The newspaper has covered conflicts from World War II through recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, adapting from print to digital formats and social media to maintain its reach. Stars and Stripes now reaches 1.4 million readers daily through various media platforms. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure simply expresses the Senate's recognition and congratulations to Stars and Stripes staff without establishing any funding, programs, or binding requirements.
