1The Washington Post, Washington Bestsellers Paperback Nonfiction/General. March 29, 2009. 2WealthManagement.com’s “Top 100 RIAs of 2015” ranking was assembled using data from Meridian-IQ. Advisory firms are ranked by total assets under management. To land on the list, firms had to have a focus on financial and retirement planning for individual and high-net-worth clients. And institutional clients do not make up a substantial portion of their businesses. Finally, none of these firms are owned by a bank, broker/dealer or investment company. Investor experience/returns were not considered as part of this ranking. Edelman Financial Services Ranked 3rd. 3Throughout the firm’s 30-year history, EFS and Ric Edelman have been presented with numerous business, advisory, communication and community service awards. More information on these awards can be found at EdelmanFinancial.com/awards. 4According to Barron’s, “The formula [used] to rank advisors has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of the advisor’s practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by each client’s risk tolerance. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record.” The rankings are based on the universe of applications submitted to Barron’s. The selection process begins with a nomination and application provided to Barron’s. Principals of Edelman Financial Services, LLC self-nominated the firm and submitted quantitative and qualitative information toBarron’s as requested. Barron’s reviewed and considered this information, which resulted in the rankings on Aug. 27, 2012/Aug. 28, 2010/Aug. 31, 2009. Ric Edelman, Executive Chairman of Edelman Financial Services, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor, is an Investment Advisor Representative who offers advisory services through EFS and is a Registered Representative and Registered Principal of, and offers securities through, EF Legacy Securities, LLC, an affiliated broker/dealer, member FINRA/SIPC. 8.... | SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 ALEXANDRIA TIMES

To those who have lived longer, a decade and a half can seem like a - Thomas Jefferson brief interlude. And yet it constitutes more than half of an entire genera- tion: most high school freshmen had not been born by September 2001. It’s worth pondering the significance of 15 years’ passing as we mark the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Foremost is the remembrance of those who perished that day — nearly 3,000 victims in all, including 184 at the Pentagon. Those who were lost are forever mourned. Many others who were directly impacted survived that day, but bear scars that will never completely heal. First responders who 15 years later can’t quite escape images of the day’s carnage and carry chronic ailments from the smoke and debris. Coworkers of the dead whose lives were spared by their tardiness for work. People who missed their flights that day. Workers at the Pentagon or World Trade Centers who got out in time. For those, the whys and what ifs linger. More than any event of the last half-century, Americans remember exactly where we were when we heard about the attacks. Alexandrians who were outside on that spectacularly clear Tuesday morning reported feeling the impact of the crash. In the D.C. region, panic ensued, as we didn’t know if this was but the first wave of a broader series of attacks. Parents frantically tried to reach their children at school. Family mem- bers and friends tried to contact their loved ones at work. But 15 years also provides us with the opportunity to evaluate meanings that go beyond the immediate experience of September 11. A sense of American invincibility died that day along with the victims. Your Views For the first time since Pearl Harbor, our country suffered a major at- tack by an external enemy on our own soil.
