The phrase "Dietitian approved! We did the work for you!" is catching on at commissaries around the world as customers are using the Defense Commissary Agency's new Nutrition Guide Program to help them shop.

As the son of a career Navy officer, Alejandro Villanueva grew up on military bases worldwide, playing football and basketball among other sports. Villanueva sees the camps as an opportunity to give back to a community he cherishes.

Commissaries are observing April, the Month of the Military Child, with giveaways and savings for the entire family. DeCA's industry partners are collaborating with commissaries to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. 

For many people standing in line for the March 30 grand opening of the new commissary at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, the size of the facility meant as much to them as the amount they save on their groceries.
