Attention Veterans: USAA Welcoming all who have honorably served.

[Spade]

I just got an email from USAA with the following statement and want to get the word out as best I can.

Dear Veteran,

I hope you agree that all men and women who have honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces deserve to do business with a financial services company that understands their unique needs, appreciates their service and does the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

Your USAA Board of Directors believes so, and I am very pleased to let you know that USAA membership is now open to anyone who has honorably served in the U.S. military.

Starting with our first eligibility expansion in 1923, the USAA family has grown by embracing an ever-larger portion of America's active duty, retired and separated military members. Each time, we have been careful to ensure that USAA has the financial strength, the staff and the technology to maintain our high standards for exemplary member service, competitive pricing and value. Opening our doors today to all veterans who have honorably served, regardless of dates or length of service, fulfills our mission and leaves no one behind.

If you know veterans who honorably served but haven't become USAA members, please share this news with them so that they may know the value of USAA and, by joining, their spouses and children can enjoy the benefits of membership as well.

Sincerely,

Josue (Joe) Robles Jr.
Maj. General, USA (Ret.)
President and CEO


I've been with USAA since 2000 and have never had any issues, I have used their banking, loans, insurance, real estate assistance, and car buying assistance.

Oh thanks for reminding me I got this in an email the other day too.

I have alot of family that has served in the military and 3 brothers that are right now. I wish that the gov. or whoever has the power would take care of these guys and their families so they never have to worry about what bill not to pay this month or if they can make their house payment or even have food at the end of the month. Anyway thank-you to both of my grandfathers and several uncles and great uncles and now 3 brothers for keeping my family safe and to any one else that is or has served our country in times of war or not.
Sorry for getting sappy.
