The Stars & Stripes is known as “The Soldier’s Newspaper,” read by U-S servicemen and women stationed around the world.

The first Stars & Stripes was printed during the Civil War in Bloomfield, Missouri by Union soldiers from Illinois.

One would expect to find a national museum for a publication of this magnitude in Washington, DC. However, the Star & Stripes National Military Museum and Library is located in its birthplace in rural Missouri.
