The Continental Army was formed on June 14, 1775, by a resolution that was passed by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia after the outbreak of the American Revolution. Gen. George Washington was named the Army’s commanding general. Two days after the service was established, the roots of the commissary benefit were laid down.

This summer hundreds of boys and girls in 11 military communities will be able to enjoy a football ProCamps event thanks to a resale promotion between Procter & Gamble (P&G) and commissaries and exchanges.

With Father’s Day coming up in about two weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to save significantly on the items for “dear old dad’s” big meal by checking out the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) Savvy Shopper Sales Flyer for June 5-18.

Marine Sgt. Maj. Michael Saucedo is on a mission to ensure the Defense Commissary Agency’s newest eligible patrons, disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients, take full advantage of the savings they can achieve by shopping their commissaries.

Awareness of the commissary benefit hit prime time on Memorial Day thanks to a sales promotion that placed the Defense Commissary Agency logo on the winning JR Motorsports (JRM) No. 7 car at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
