Whereas life insurance is an essential part of a sound financial plan;

Whereas approximately 68,000,000 United States citizens lack the adequate level of life insurance coverage needed to ensure a secure financial future for their loved ones;

designated September 2007 as National Life Insurance Awareness

goals and ideals of National Life Insurance Awareness Month
