During the holidays, military commissaries will be open to serve eligible patrons except for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) announced.

On Dec. 13, 1636, the Massachusetts Colony created an organized militia that would eventually become today’s National Guard. The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) is honored to deliver the commissary benefit to members of the Army National Guard, Air Guard and their family members, said Navy Master Chief Mario Rivers, senior enlisted advisor to the DeCA director.

Stephan T. Davis, former budget officer for the Defense Commissary Agency, has been named the agency’s chief financial officer. He succeeds Cynthia L. Morgan, who is retiring Dec. 31.

When Cynthia Morgan took over as the Defense Commissary Agency’s chief financial officer (CFO) in 2018, she walked into a growing tradition of unmodified opinions reflecting DeCA’s ability to efficiently manage its appropriations. As she prepares to retire after more than 35 years of government service, Morgan said she is proud the agency continues to emphasize its responsibility to be good stewards of taxpayer funds.
