5/5Save the Stars and Stripes!!!
The Stars and Stripes has been a fixture in my life as far back as I can remember, 65+ years. I was aware of it at a young age when my dad would bring home copies when we were stationed with him overseas. During my career in the US Air Force the Stars and Stripes was always available at military installations around the world no matter how remote the location, and some of them were very remote. Even with the availability of thousands of on-line news sources, the Stars and Stripes is the most enduring and balanced source of US news and always feels like part of home. It will be as sad day if the Stars and Stripes were canceled. I am sure the DoD Comptroller can find $15.5 million in the $700 billion+ DoD budget to fund the Stars and Stripes. The DOD typically allow billions of prior year funding to expire because it has not been spent in a timely manner. With better funds management finding $15.5 million in the vast DoD budget is not a difficult effort.

5/5Support the Stars & Stripes
There is very little associated with the military that has such a wide spread, overwhelmingly positive reputation than the Stars & Stripes. It does not matter what branch you served in, what your rank was or when you served; the Stars & Stripes has always been something that we could count on to connect us to home. The digital version is quality work. It has quickly become my #1 news source. I bought a subscription just to support it. I will keep it because it is amazing.

5/5Current News That Really matters.
Stars and Stripes continues to be the most current news, reliable, truthful, and non-partisan news that matters most to our troops and their families. This has been true since it’s inception ever since World War 2. What a magnificent and marvelous “fact based” and “truth telling “ journalistic achievement. The Stars and Stripes is an irreplaceable news source in both peace and war. Pray that it never ever gets politicized. It would be a travesty if it did.

5/5News that is worth writing about!
Stars and Stripes news is always interesting and to the point. They let the Military community know everything that is going on around the world. Keeping us abreast of threats and potential violence that can engulf our Nation at any time or place. Our Military is strong and with Stars and Stripes it shall remain strong and ready for any event anywhere in the world.

1/5Poor way of stars and stripe to try and take your money
There used to be the .99 cents stars and strips app that let you read it all for free. Now they they want to manipulate you in taking your money with this new stars and stripe app. It is a crime of fraud the way they do it. I highly recommend do not be a victim of them taking your money. If I could give negative stars I would. Also used to you could read more of articles un the app. Now they make it limited. They need to at least make the app free to all new customers that down load this appp since you can no longer read all the articles. But at least you can go to google and retype the article to read it that way for free.

During my career in the US Air Force the Stars and Stripes was always available at military installations around the world no matter how remote the location, and some of them were very remote. Even with the availability of thousands of on-line news sources, the Stars and Stripes is the most enduring and balanced source of US news and always feels like part of home. It will be as sad day if the Stars and Stripes were canceled. I am sure the DoD Comptroller can find $15.5 million in the $700 billion+ DoD budget to fund the Stars and Stripes. The DOD typically allow billions of prior year funding to expire because it has not been spent in a timely manner. With better funds management finding $15.5 million in the vast DoD budget is not a difficult effort.",

It does not matter what branch you served in, what your rank was or when you served; the Stars & Stripes has always been something that we could count on to connect us to home. The digital version is quality work. It has quickly become my #1 news source. I bought a subscription just to support it. I will keep it because it is amazing.",

The Stars and Stripes is an irreplaceable news source in both peace and war. Pray that it never ever gets politicized. It would be a travesty if it did.",

Now they they want to manipulate you in taking your money with this new stars and stripe app. It is a crime of fraud the way they do it. I highly recommend do not be a victim of them taking your money. If I could give negative stars I would. Also used to you could read more of articles un the app. Now they make it limited. They need to at least make the app free to all new customers that down load this appp since you can no longer read all the articles. But at least you can go to google and retype the article to read it that way for free.",
