| For Those Who Gave All WE REMEMBER! |
| Fellow member, |
 |
| Inspired by a war-scarred field of bright red poppies that he saw in the spring of 1915, Canadian Soldier Lt. Col. John McCrae wrote the powerful poem “In Flanders Fields.” With fewer than 100 words, McCrae honored the lives lost in World War I and spurred a timeless movement of using the poppy as a symbol of remembrance within the military community. |
|
| More than 645,000 have lost their lives in service to our country since World War I. Today, more than 100 years since the end of the war, we have a profound opportunity to remember their ultimate sacrifice with a moment of silence, a reverent act or a thoughtful gesture of thanks. I hope you will join USAA this year as we pay tribute to the fallen. Please visit usaa.com/memorialday for ways to honor these heroes of the battlefield or post your own tribute on social media using the hashtag #PoppyInMemory. |
|
| As always, thank you for the opportunity to serve you. |
|
| Sincerely, |
|
