Early in 1879, 100 years ago, a small group of Army officers, including General Philip H. Sheridan, founded the Army Mutual Aid Association. Their action grew out of compassionate concern for the widows and father- less children left destitute as a result of the Custer mas- sacre at Little Big Horn. Sheridan and his associates recognized the need to provide a mutual benefit organi- zation to help prevent such severe hardship for Army officers ' survivors in the future. Today, 100 years later, AMAA has 46,600 active mem- bers participating in a program where the central fea- tures are long term assistance to survivors and low cost life insurance. Benefits are constantly improved, pre- miums are kept low, and AMAA ' s coverage is custom- tailored to the Army officers ' needs. Membership rolls have included not only founders such as Sheridan, but also John J. Pershing, George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the two MacArthurs, father and son, and many other distinguished American officers. The General Philip H. Sheridan statue, Sheridan Circle, Massachusetts Avenue, Washington, D.C.

Since 1879 AMAA has paid out over S58 million in insurance benefits to policy holders . . . but our service is much more than the payment of benefits, vital as they are. Taking our name Mutual Aid literally, we offer the officer ' s family immediate and continuing assistance. Help in collecting compensation and advice on financial planning are just a few of AMAA ' s services that can extend long beyond the member ' s death. Today we celebrate our 100 years with an EXPANDED BENEFIT for members . . . ... an automatic 66=3% INCREASE IN LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE AFTER THREE YEARS WITH NO INCREASE IN PREMIUM.
