During the Buddhist holiday of Tet, over 80,000 Vietcong troops emerged from their tunnels and attacked nearly every major metropolitan center in South Vietnam. Surprise strikes were made at the American base at Danang, and even the seemingly impenetrable American embassy in Saigon was attacked.
What is 'Accidental Death And Dismemberment Insurance - AD&D'. Accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D) is a rider attached to a health insurance or life insurance policy covering death by accidental means and dismemberment, including the loss of or the loss of use of body parts or functions (meanings limbs, speech, eyesight or hearing).
You can also purchase AD&D as a rider on life insurance policies. Most employers that offer accidental death and dismemberment insurance provide it as a benefit alongside group life insurance at matching levels, Hannah says. For example, an employer that provides $50,000 of life insurance would offer $50,000 of AD&D coverage. Under that scenario, you'd get double the payout if you died in an accident â $50,000 from the group life insurance and $50,000 from the accidental death and dismemberment policy.
