## Resource

This week on The Farron Dozier Show, we welcome Rick Mercado, Founder of LifeLineShield and a financial services professional with more than 25 years of experience helping individuals, families, and veterans protect what matters most. Many veterans spend years preparing for missions, deployments, retirement, and the unexpected while serving our country. Yet when it comes to protecting their families financially, some of us delay difficult conversations around life insurance, final expenses, mortgage protection, and long-term planning. This conversation is not about fear. It is about preparation, protection, and peace of mind. We will explore:• Why many veterans delay life insurance decisions• The impact financial planning can have on spouses, children, and loved ones• Whole Life Insurance and building long-term protection• Term Life Insurance and affordable coverage options• Final Expense Insurance and preparing for end-of-life costs• Mortgage Protection and protecting the family home• Creating a legacy and financial security for future generations• Resources veterans and military families should know about Most importantly, we want to hear directly from veterans: How important is life insurance and financial protection to you and your family? Have you put a plan in place, or is it a conversation you’ve been avoiding? Join us for a real conversation about responsibility, legacy, family, and protecting those we love.
