Army Maj. Gen. John P. Dreska, the Defense Commissary Agency's first director, addresses the crowd attending ceremonies on Sept. 30, 1991, activating DeCA. The event also dedicated DeCA's headquarters building to the late Congressman William F. "Bill" Nichols. Seated behind Dreska were (from left) Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Russell N. Moffett, the agency's first senior enlisted advisor; the congressman's son, William Flynt Nichols; Army Lt. Gen. Leon E. Salomon, commanding general, U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command and Fort Lee; Colin McMillan, assistant secretary of defense (production and logistics) [obscured]; and Congressman Norman Sisisky. Sisisky died March 29, 2001, and DeCA dedicated a new wing of the headquarters building to him in August of that year. McMillan passed away on July 24, 2003.
