THIS STORY:
J. D. Tippit was an American World War II U.S Army veteran and a police officer who served for the Dallas Police Department. Approximately 45 minutes after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Tippit was shot and killed in a residential neighborhood in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald, who would later turn out to be identified as the assassin.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

In the midst of her own grief, Jackie Kennedy wrote a condolence letter to Marie Tippet. Marie responded with a condolence letter of her own. Talk about class and grace by two grieving widows.
interesting!
That is indeed true. But what ppl don't realize, and there is much evidence, witnesses regarding Tippit's actions that day. Is that he was an alleged "crooked cop" with the offer to be promoted to a cia OO. Tippit failed to find and shoot whoever it was he was frantically looking for, the mysterious phone calls he made, one being at the record store, and another at a gas station. And bc he was allegedly "in on it" or had orders with a "need to know only" situation. And he did not find the "culprit".. allegedly LHO, he was shot, by as at least 5-7 witnesses stating on record, by a short stocky man, definitely not a LHO description. More likely Jack Ruby, who lived a block away, coincidentally. The one man who emphatically denied the shooter looked like LHO, was shot in the back of the head, survived, and promptly changed his testimony to definitely being LHO who shot Tippit. A lot of first witness accounts with the exact description, were completely ignored. And some threatened and left Dallas never to be found, except for their witness testimony on film.
Thank you for your service Sir. My Father also served in WWII. RIP JD Tippit in Heaven.
RIP 🙏 Officer JD Tippit #848. Thank you for your heroism. Thanks Ron for sharing this intriguing story of Officer Tippit. Heros never die 🟦👮♂️
He was a "rogue crooked cop" doing a frantic chase for an unknown person, unknown to us...within the 15-20 minutes after President Kennedy was murdered in broad daylight. All other DPD vehicles were called in to help with the tragedy, but Tippit was chasing an order, failed and taken out for it. Less witnesses.
Thanks Ron for telling his story may JD and Marie rest in peace and thanks for your service JD you were a true hero
I've always observed that anytime tragedy strikes, regardless of the circumstances, the first responders are oftentimes forgotten about. Thank you for doing this episode; everyone recalls JFK and Oswald, but Officer Tippett deserves his due.
Thank you, Ron for his story. Respect to you Mr. Tippit, and thank you for your service. R.I.P.
Service to crooked and rogue cia, and DPD.
What a hero! I remember so well watching the funeral of President Kennedy and little John John saluting his dad as his casket passed by, even though I was only 5 years old at the time. I can't remember the exact way the story goes that my dad told me, but we were in Miami for a family vacation during the same time that President Kennedy was there right before he went to Dallas. I remember my Dad saying that his motorcade went right by our hotel, and the Secret Service were all over the place. It's so surreal to think that my family and I were just yards from him not long before he died. It was a very sad time for the whole country. Even little kids like me at the time felt it 😢 💐
Excellent story! My dad was also a paratrooper in WWII. 101st Airborne, 506 PIR. C Company. Was one of the 1600 men at Ft Toccoa GA that became the Band of Brothers
The year I started piano lessons. We were told at school of JFK being shot. The Catholic students were taken to church. When I got home Dad and a family friend were moving a piano into our home. After telling the men why I was home the TV was turned on and we all watched the news coverage. Sad day in history, for our Nation and all families that lost their love one, may this day never be forgotten and may the dead RIP 🙏
I was five years old and I was home from kindergarten with the measles. My mom and I watched the news together. I remember she was crying and I didn’t understand. Thank you for sharing the story of JD Pippin.
I have to be honest, I didn’t know about him been killed as well! Went trough a war, survived, and been killed, very sad story indeed! And Ron, your memory of names, dates and all is remarkable!
I was in the 5th grade at catholic school. We were told to pray. I remember it was so shocking, even to 10 year olds, who couldn’t quite grasp the magnitude of this event.
That was a beautiful tribute.
I was in kindergarten. I don’t remember that day. The Sunday after I remember coming home from church with my mom. My dad was watching the TV coverage of the funeral. It was the only time my dad missed church! RIP JD!
I was in Dallas a couple of years ago. The Texas Theatre is now a bar. We walked up, knocked and were allowed in. Got to walk around the entire theatre and sit were Oswald was.
Thank you for remembering JD Tippit.
This was decades before I was born. My parents were in grade school. Great video Ron.
Yes I remember. Sitting on the sofa next to my mom and new born brother.
I have so many relatives buried in this cemetery. Great story Ron and I love seeing you in such a familiar place to me. Bless J.D. and all buried there.🕯🇱🇷
I was day dreaming out of my 7th grade window thinking what I was going to do over the weekend..that all changed at ~ 2:00 p.m. when Sr. John Margaret notified the class the president had been shot..the whole school went across the street to St. Michael 's church and prayed our hearts out..R.I.P. officer Tippet..
Fly high JD 💙🇦🇺
A true gentleman and hero
So, I'm just a few months younger than you big Brother Ron! 😁 Yes! It was a complete shock when we got the news. I know my parents left the TV 📺 on more hours than they usually did. Mostly I remember people crying 😢 and during the funeral procession; the drums 🥁 beating and beating.
I had heard about JD Tippett, that Oswald shot him too. But I KNEW NOTHING of his life and service to our country. What a really great guy! Thanks for sharing his story Ron! And for showing us a photo of his widow Marie. She just passed in 2021! Wow! May they RIP 🙏 And stay safe and warm Ron! 💕
R. I. P. Sir. Thank you for your service 🙏
Ron, thank you for explaining what the meaning of the different coins are. I never knew.
I was in 7th grade when President Kennedy and Officer Tippit were killed. There was an announcement over the intercom by the Principle that school was now closed and we were to go home in a dignified manner. School buses on the way. I was very scared on my way home. Everything was closed until after the funeral. Thank you for remembering Officer Tippit and President Kennedy.
I was also in 7th grade myself. Went into 7th period study hall, chatty as most of us were, when the teacher said Be quiet! Don't you know the President has just been shot! How were we to know, until the principal put radio on the pa system. We, too, were sent home silently after hearing JFK had died. What a sad sad time.
I also was in the 7th just returned from lunch. My first experience of national grief,the saddest thanksgiving ever!☮️
He was part of the cover up. Failed in his orders and silenced for it. And possibly bc they called him "jack" for his perceived resemblance to JFK. Don't see it myself.
I was about 4 and I don't think I knew what was going on, but I remember my mom crying as she watched TV. She had so many clippings from them and always talked about how wonderful he was. thank you for adding memories of JD as well. He was a true hero. A sad day indeed 😔
I was standing on a milk carton ironing handkerchiefs for my mother. She was crying and it scared the crap out of me! 🙄😏🥲 Thanks Ron!
RIP J.D , God needed you on that day and now you are with him .
Ron, Thank you for the history of Officer Tippet. A lot there in his biography I’d never heard before.
I was in 4th grade elementary school on that day. And remember well the news, school dismissed early and then the weekend of constant news coverage
I’ve too been interested all through the years, reading and watching much of the history. Rest peacefully. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
I was in 6th grade, and we were dismissed from school early. Our teachers were in shock, and to be honest, even though we were young, we realized the world was changing.
I was in 8th grade study hall when the school principal made the announcement over the loudspeaker. It brought on a very sad feeling. A friend was sitting across from me, and she began to cry. I didn't cry, but there was a huge heaviness that seemed to fall over us all, and we grew up a little that day.
WOW Ron you've been busy
Stories like this one is what makes your channel so interesting. Everyone talks about Oswald or Jack Ruby when talking about President Kennedy's assassination. Thanks for remembering this officer who also paid the ultimate sacrifice. Best of luck and stay safe while on your travels.👍♋
The 8+ witnesses that saw a "short stocky man" shoot Tippit, WAS Jack Ruby. Tippit was part of the taking out of LHO, but Oswald realized he was being set up and went a different direction to the cinema for "orders" and Tippit failed to do the job. He had to be silenced for it. Funny how they found..on film LHO's wallet at the scene, but quickly hid that bc LHO had his wallet on him at the cinema. They now officially deny the wallet was at the scene, but it is filmed on a major news network who had arrived before the DP had. Tippit was a rogue crooked cop. There is much evidence to prove this.
@@Gigi1111Layna- Do you know of sources that support the idea that Tippit was a dirty cop? If so please let me know where to research. I’ve heard/read from several sources that he was a dirty cop but I’ve never found anything that would confirm that. When I get into a JFK assassination discussion with a Lone Nutter they want proof and sources. Otherwise they just dismiss what I say if it doesn’t fit the WCR.
Thank you for this true story that many of us did not know. Ron you are a walking enciclopedia ( literally walking) )❤
thanks. A lot of cramming the night before on this one!!
I was 1 day shy of being 2 months old. Growing up 1963 was a year heavily reviewed in history classes which I found fascinating. Loved history and I have to acknowledge the great history teachers I was fortunate to have had throughout my school years. They really brought history alive for me. I wish now I would have studied a degree in it. Oh well. Great video Mr. Ron and thank you for all your hard work.
I had one and ONLY one History teacher who could bring History to life. That was when I was Junior in High school 🏫 😳 😅
Wow! I had not heard of this before!
I visited JD Tippit's grave when I was in Dallas, shortly after Marie's death. I was unable to locate her. I read she wished to be buried next to JD, but it wasn't possible for some reason. How sad.
Thank you for visiting his grave. And trying to find Marie's grave. Most people forget Officer 👮♂️ Tippit! 👍
I remember we got sent home early from school. I spent the next week glued to the TV. I just couldn’t believe it.
I was born in 65, I was in high school when Reagan was shot! I've heard about JD through JFK assassination investigations!! But we are here to remember JD an American Hero so I'll leave it at that!! Great story Ron! RIP JD. Thank you for your service!!
Please explain in what way do you assign this man Tippit, as a "hero"!? What did he do, did he save someone!?
May their souls Rest in peace 🙏
Thanks Ron , very interesting story. R.i.P JD and Marie.🙏💐
Hi Ron, from gloomy Georgia, storms tomorrow
I was 7 yrs old when the assassin occurred, what a sad day. 😢 I remember my mom crying so hard that her eyes were actually red and puffy. Thank you for your service and heroism JD Tippit. May you Rest in Peace. 💐
RIP Officer Tippet. Thank you Ron , for the lovely video. I was in the 6th grade when Kennedy was assassinated. We were let out of school early by our crying principal. I walked home and was then glued to the tv for days. I was watching on live tv when Oswald was shot.
I remember all of the adults were so upset and crying. They all thought we were going to be invaded by the Russians. It was such a sad time. Thanks again for your respect for these people and for your hard work. 💕
I was born just a few days before President Kennedy was killed. My Mom was so happy with my arrival, but said the atmosphere in the hospital was so very sad. I had never known about this story Ron, I'm glad you are helping us remember this heroic man. Rest in peace, Officer Tippit.
I was 3. I was home with my baby brother who was 5 months old. My mom said she can vividly remember watching the news that day and being in shock at what had happened. My mom is still living and will be 87 on February 25th
Yes Ron thanks for this story my mom was pregnant with me when jfk was shot and my older sister was 4 years old or so...and i Remember hearing about it. And jd was a hero and Rip JD..and wife Marie and I always love hearing all your stories and watching your videos as well...thanks for all you do Ron and enjoy your adventure and taking us along with you.. safe travels Ron and take care too..💕💕🙏😇😥😥...ps JD thanks for your service 👮 police officer
Thank-you for bringing him into the light. 🙂
Definitely a hero! May he be resting in peace! 🙏✝
Great story, as always. Rip 🙏
Great story Ron. Thank you
Thank you for this story
I was 9 years old when President Kennedy was shot. It was a very sad day in history. I don't recall hearing about JD. May this brave man rest in peace along with his wife.
I so remember his face from all the newspapers of the time but have long since forgotten the exact circumstances of his demise. Thank you for refreshing that memory of his amazing life story. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
John Connelly is someone who fell victim that day. Also not mentioned very much who was struck by bullets while sitting in the front seat with President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
That's not how one spells Connally, and he was sitting in front of Kennedy and behind a Secret Service agent, not in the front.
very good story Ron. He was a Hero. he is often overlooked in this story that shook the nation at the time. I was 14, in highschool when I found out about Kennedy. No one who lived through that terrible time will ever forget where they were on that fateful day. thanks
I wasn't born till September of 1964 but I grew up hearing about Kennedy thank you Ron be safe God bless
I remember I was in Jr. High School, sitting in history, the news came in over the intercom, we all started crying. It was my 15th birthday, boy what a rotten birthday 😢 Thanks Ron for the great video, so sad about officer Tippett, sad, sad, sad day 💔😢
True Hero. A lot of military guys become law officers my brother in-law was one. Vietnam vet. Retired now. Love them❤️
I was 11 yrs old when this happened..We were let out of school early, it was Friday, just a little after 3pm in the afternoon in New York I remember. I was in a Catholic School then. I can remember our principle Sister Rose came in to talk with our teacher, Sister Cecillia..After they were done talking sister told us to put our things away and get our coats out of the coatroom and single file out of the school and to go home. She didnt explain why at the time, but as I was walking away from the school to go home, I noticed people by our church talking and a couple ladies crying..Didn't actually find out about President Kennedy until I got home..I knew about Officer Tippit and what happened. Very good video Ron, thanks for sharing..As always be safe wherever your travels may take you 💛
How scary 😨 they didn't tell you why! 😳
@@marlenepearson3936 wasn't really scary, I thought maybe the Pope had died because of the women by our church, St. Cyril's were crying.
@@14tfisher Glad it didn't scare you! My next door neighbor was stabbed to death in her home. And my Mom in her infantant wisdom, decided to send me off to a Church ⛪️ run class for kids. It was Summer, and the last day until the started for the new year. They served lunch, which I couldn't eat. And showed a movie which I'd seen. I BEGGED her not to make me go. But I HAD to go, according to her. I was thinking of just saying I needed the restroom 🚻 and heading out the door to run home. But I was too scared. My Dad came to pick me up and told me our other next door neighbor on the other side and unalived her. Of course, that was closer to home 🏡 than the Kennedy Assassination 🙄
I enjoy your storie.
Good Day, i was in the 4th grade..
I remember it all.. I was in school and all the teachers were crying, when my teacher Mr. Griffen told us in class, they sent us all home..
I was a Sophomore in a catholic academy in Joliet, Il. The nuns closed down the school and sent us home.
I remember Kennedy's assassination like it happened yesterday. Watched Oswald's murder live as well. Sadly, I don't recall the name JD Tippit. Only that a police officer was killed while trying to question Oswald. Thank you for sharing his story, Ron. It's one that should be remembered and honored. May he R.I.P.
was killed while trying to question Oswald??hahhahahhahahh you americans are naive
thanks for sharing the story of JD Tippit. he was a real hero hope he is resting in peace.
1963..... a special year...I was born then and named after Jacqueline Kennedy 😁😘😘😘
Rest in Eternal Peace. Thank you for your military service and your police service.
I was not in school yet but me to big fan of jfk
A lot of people seem to have forgotten that 2 people were murdered in Dallas that day. Very brave man!
Hi ron, excellent work as usual
Hey, thanks
There's a video on RUclips of the Widow of the officer she said when I die I want to be buried next to my husband but I don't have a clue where he's buried at..I already posted that Tippit & Lee Oswald they were best friends they were seen at a local restaurant in Dallas having breakfast together the morning of the assassination and there was about 30 people that they interviewed said that they were sitting together talking and eating breakfast.. Robert Kennedy Jr he said that his uncle outlived his injuries he was never shot in the head and because Tippit resembled JFK Roscoe White and Billy Seymour shot and killed him and the officer is buried at Arlington Cemetery where Kennedy should be.. Robert Kennedy Jr said that his uncle lived till he was 103 and died in 2021..He said that all this will come out in 2024..🤔..We will see I thought they were both shot both at Parkland hospital and they did a body switch..John Liggett he was the guy that did the surgery on Tippit they said how they did the body switch..But last mouth Robert Kennedy Jr dropped a bombshell saying that John Kennedy never died..lived to be 103 years old and died in 2021...Unreal...
I was in eighth grade in Round Lake grade school in Ill...Never forgot that date!
RIP Mr Tippit
I was -7 then. I didn’t get here until 70’.
quite sad.
Thank you for this. Mr Tippit is a forgotten hero of American history shot down by a coward. He is sadly obscured being part of the one of the darkest days in America’s history.
My grandmother still has the Life magazines about the assassination.
Heyyy Ron 🧡🧡
I was in 3rd grade. All our teachers were crying and we were sent home.
Mr. Tippit would be so proud that you made this video. What a wonderful dedication to his life and sacrifice. Before this I had never even seen any mention of him, or his family.... He is a true American Hero that is now digitally archived forever, as long as this channel is up.....
Thank you for telling his story and keeping his story alive. I had seen his photo and heard a little bit about him but never heard his whole story. Thank you for sharing this information. His wife lived a long time. I'm glad she found happiness again in her life.
Was in accounting class in high school. So sad.
The assassination really shocked the nation. I was in my first apartment that day. It was just a heartbreaking event. Officer Tippitt probably saved others by stopping that day. He will forever be a hero. Rest in peace. Thank you for remembering him.
Thank you for this very informative video. So sad for all concerned. Your Country has seen so many tragedies. My respect to the American people.❤️❤️from Wales.
JD a true hero 👏 🙌 RIP all my respect!!
I never heard his story before, thanks for sharing with us 👍🏻
I was surprised to see that there was no flowers there.
I will never forget that horrible day. I was a freshman in high school in history class. President Kennedy has always been one of my idols. Thank you for sharing the life of Officer Tippet. A true hero. 💜
Hi
Fascinating history that Ive never heard of before. Thank you for sharing this ❤
I cannot say much more then my last comment, i wasnt born til 78
JD thank you for your service and your sacrifice RIP sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼
A tragedy all around. I used to believe in the standard "Oswald was the lone gunman" story until I dug deeper. He was A shooter -- but not the only one. The fact that he was murdered before he could tell the world what really happened and who else was involved speaks volumes. Sadly, Officer Tippit was murdered after living through the hell of WWII and later becoming an everlasting part of one of our nation's darkest days. Nice work once again Ron.
I remember this tragedy. 4th grade.
🇺🇸
I wasn't even thought of yet lol didn't get here until 1969
RIP Sir and Thank you for your service.
Another great story.
J D Tippit rest in peace 🙏
1963 , a special year, I was born in july, and named after Jacqueline Kennedy.
Never heard this story, Rest In Peace Mr Tippit
Thanks Ron❤️
The actual circumstances leading up to and surrounding this man's death remain very much in question.
My oldest brother and sister were 2yrs old and 6 mth old infant.
Thank you so much for explaining the coins' meanings.
I find it odd that a fellow police officer would even consider dating his widow. I guess those were different times. Now it is considered taboo or disrespectful if a police officer or firefighter tries to be with a widow. I was in the fire service for 25 years and I know this to be true. Widows were always off limits to those on the job.
I am a total fan of your channel. I was always intrigued by the story of Officer Tippit. No one really covered his story.
