description

Summary

Fort Myer Grand Opening, Jan. 28 [some references say Jan. 18], 1943. A young girl, very probably the daughter of the Women's Army Corps member behind her, has already been admitted to the store. The WAC member gets her ID checked by a member of the store staff - probably a manager, or perhaps the deputy to the commissary officer. The man in uniform may be the commissary officer, but there is no documentation showing that to be the case. Products on the shelves in the background display products and brand names that are still familiar to American grocery shoppers today, 72 years after this photo was made.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
