Reflections for Officer J. D. Tippit
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.
