JFK Living History: Remembering Officer J.D. Tippit

 
 
Tonight the Sixth Floor Museum held a special Living History Program, "Remembering Officer J.D. Tippit."  Caleb and other members of this year's Youth Advisory Committee welcomed visitors and passed our programs to the special event.
 
The evening began with a badge presentation to Mrs. Marie Tippit by Dallas Police Chief David Brown.  The  conversation continued with the Tippit family talking about the man Officer Tippit was - a family man who loved his job. 
 
History remembers Officer Tippit as the police officer shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, after Oswald had assassinated President John F. Kennedy.  Officer Tippet would have celebrated his 90th birthday this year.
 
Therefore strong peoples will honor you;    cities and nations will revere you
Isaiah 25:3
