Well, it's that time of year again, new calendars are coming to a wall near you! USAA sent us a very nice one full of patriotic pics. One of the best parts about it, besides the pic of the little girl hugging her daddy after he came back from war that almost made me cry, was the quotes! I just had to share them.:-)
