Remembering 9/11 - “We Will Never Forget”

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism.

The devastating loss of life on 9/11 reminds us how life can be taken in an instant, unexpectedly and without consideration. The families and friends left behind to grieve the loss of loved ones every year is a painful reminder we can all empathize with. Making sure our family and friends can grieve in peace in the event of unexpected loss is attributed to preparation and planning. Although we don’t know the hour or day we will go we can try our best to plan for our families well-being.

This month is Life Insurance Awareness month. We encourage all of you to speak with your local insurance agent about life insurance coverage and family planning. Ensuring your loved ones are taken care of in your absence is the last gift you can give them. The younger the better and the earlier you begin planning the better. For those unexpected and unprecedented times, cover the ones you love, take a look at some different life policies here and make sure to speak to your local life insurance agent.
