When officer Tippit left his family that day little did he know that less than two hours later he would be lying dead on Tenth Street.

On the day the world remembers (11 - 22 - 63) it can be easy to forget the guy who very few remember. This man was Officer J.D. Tippit , rank of patrolman with the southwest patrol operations (Oak Cliff) substation, second platoon, Dallas police.

When the voice of "Hello? police operator" burst onto the police radio, J.D. had already left this earth, the victim of a shooting.

Now....almost forty years later , we forget him, sweep him under the rug and fobb him off.

Let us be reminded that 180 police officers are killed in the line of duty every year....so why make this any different.

LET US REMEMBER J.D. TIPPIT, HIS LIFE, TIMES AND GOOD DEEDS THAT DID FROM JULY 28 1952 UNTIL 1:15P.M. ON NOVEMBER 22ND 1963.

Because after all this shy country boy turned peace officer is America's Forgotten Hero.

Lest We Forget.

It was a infamous day in the history of our country. The one all remember is the death of President John F. Kennedy. The loss of an officer is almost considered both expected and accepted, except to the family...the immediate and the extended family of Law Enforcement officers across this still-great land. The loss of Officer (brother) J.D. Tippit, and the heroic act he was attempting at the time of his death will be forgotten by most, but will never be forgotten by those of us who run in while everyone else runs away. Thank you, J.D., you have served your time in Hell, now, it's good to know we have you and all our fallen brothers and sisters watching our backs. It's not luck we're not with you, it's our Guardian Angels.
