During World War I millions of service members were insured by the United States government for five years with policies from $1,000 to $10,000, averaging about $8,700. Postwar demobilization led many to lapse or cancel, and a broad educational campaign by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and volunteer groups seeks to restore coverage for former soldiers and sailors.
