... From the Stripes archives

For more than 50 years, Stars and Stripes photographers have documented overseas military life — not only the battles and the training, but also the scenes of everyday activities in and around the U.S. military communities in Europe and the Far East.

Stripes.com looks back at some of those memorable images of servicemembers, statesmen, celebrities and civilians with our Photo of the Day feature.

Many days you will also find links to the stories that accompanied those photos, and related shots of interest.
