No, but any photos taken since 1923 COULD still be copyrighted, other than those taken by U.S. government employees.
Any copyrightable photos taken since the U.S. law changed, in the late 1970s, would still be copyrighted.
The good news for you is that the owner of the copyright (especially in old photos) has the burden of proving copyright ownership, if you're infringing, and it is very rare that a licensing settlement cannot be worked out, if it comes to that.
Depending upon what is depicted in the photo, there could also be issues of copyright subsisting in the underlying materials, say, where you take a photo of an original painting and sell copies without a license from the painter.

It depends on the circumstances of who took them, when. Your official photo, for example, is not protected by copyright, because it is a work of the federal government. Other photos taken by military photographers, such as are found on DVIDS, are also not protected. Snapshots, on the other hand, taken by someone whose official duties do not include photography, would be protected.
