This Senate resolution commemorates the 80th anniversary of the continuous operations of Stars and Stripes in the Pacific, which commenced on May 14, 1945. Established in Honolulu during World War II, it served as an independent, uncensored news source for military personnel and has been heralded for its indispensable service since its reestablishment during World War I by General John J. Pershing. The resolution highlights Stars and Stripes' enduring mission to provide news "about the military, for the military," covering conflicts from World War II through Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Despite declining traditional newspaper readership, Stars and Stripes has innovated through internet versions and social media, now reaching 1,400,000 readers daily, maintaining its role as the "hometown newspaper" for service members, civilian employees, and their families globally. Ultimately, the resolution celebrates this important institutional milestone and extends congratulations and honor to all past and present staff members who have diligently served the United States military community.
