September has brought some incredible moments in history, and our team at Willingham Insurance Agency loves looking back at the milestones that remind us what determination and innovation can achieve.

Here are a few we’re celebrating this month:

🫀 September 2, 1952 – A University of Minnesota surgical team completed the first successful open-heart surgery using a hypothermia technique that changed cardiac care forever.

🚀 September 5, 1977 – NASA launched Voyager 1, now the most distant human-made object in space, carrying the iconic Golden Record as a message from Earth.

🏗️ September 30, 1935 – Construction began on the Hoover Dam, a massive engineering accomplishment completed two years ahead of schedule—right in the middle of the Great Depression.

Moments like these inspire us to keep thinking bigger and supporting the communities we serve across Ballinger and West Texas.
