Like Harold, I feel insulted. Back in 1960 my AFROTC instructor advised the class: buy your insurance from USAA and do your banking at Kelly Field. Unfortunately, Kelly Field developed a niche that made them a target for a buy-out and it soon lost its attractiveness. USAA has been my insurance provider for 57 years, with coverage from Thailand to Crete and across the US; I have considered USAA as a fellow patriot. Now my insurance company and bank have kicked a patriot to the curb while still running ads on programs that do not support our president or even our military. I can't believe it! I called my insurance number and the person I spoke with read me the memo that had been distributed "explaining" the reason for cancelling ads on Sean Hannity's program; she read it nicely but it sounded like someone realized USAA was supporting a patriot and they needed to find a way to cover their retreat. I thought surely a couple of days would help a decision maker to realize what a blunder they had committed - but not so far.

I have all of my insurance with USAA and have kept CDs there even when their rates were 50 to 75 basis points less than competitors, for I "believed" in USAA. Could it be that USAA has become like Kelly Field after their "experts" wanted to play with the big boys and risked losing the very qualities that made USAA successful?

As CDs mature they will not be renewed. My insurance is pending to allow USAA a brief time to rectify this situation they created. An apology to USAA members is certainly warranted.
