During World War II, he served as a U.S. Army Ranger and combat photographer in the much heralded fighting unit Darby's Rangers in the North African and Italian campaigns. In 2014 Stern was inaugurated into the prestigious U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame for his "service as an original member of the 1st Ranger Battalion and for his lasting contribution to the photographic history of the Rangers."
