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've probably received offers for accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) from your credit card companies, mortgage holder, bank or other organizations. But it's important not to confuse this type of insurance with standard life insurance. It's especially important to avoid relying solely on AD&D to provide for your dependents in the event of your death. AD&D policies are relatively inexpensive and easy to understand.
