61 years ago, on November 22, 1963. Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald 45 minutes after he assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

He was a 9-year veteran of the department. During WWII, he served as a paratrooper.

His first combat was Operation Varsity. He earned a Purple Heart, but he refused to wear it because he felt his wound wasn’t sufficient! That’s the type of man he was.
