Chairman & President’s Message

 src=

We were created as a nonprofit organization in 1947 with the support of General of the Army, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Initially formed in the basement of the Pentagon to provide $10,000 of life insurance to active duty officers serving overseas, we are one of the oldest and largest associations of our kind. Over the years, we have changed our name a few times, moved offices, added new products to our portfolio, and expanded our membership eligibility to cover all military, DoD, federal employees, and first responders. We also have our own insurance company, 5Star Life, to underwrite our member eligible products and to serve our country’s civilian workforce through the worksite market.

While we have grown considerably and come a long way since our founding, our core mission remains steadfast – serving those who serve this great nation. And we will never be too large to forget that we are here to serve with integrity by offering flexible, customized insurance solutions. Because there are no limits to the sacrifices our members and policyholders may be called upon to make, we do not exclude any occupation, duty assignment, deployment, or hazard from our protection at any time. From the workplace to a war zone, we stand behind our insured families, ready to deliver on our promise to pay claims quickly and compassionately. And unlike anyone else in our industry, we offer a no cost scholarship benefit to the survivors of those whose deaths occur as a result of combat, terrorism, or participation as a first responder in an emergency.

We have paid almost $2 billion in claims, served thousands of members, and helped countless families achieve financial security in their time of need. Today, we are 450,000 members strong, financially sound, and strategically positioned to remain relevant, serving new generations of members. Thank you to our members, employees, field representatives, board of directors, and senior leaders as we say Happy Birthday AFBA!
