Here's one for ya:
Next to the name of officer J. D. Tippit on line 63, Panel E-9 of the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in Washington, DC, is the name of officer John Kennedy. Officer Kennedy was killed in NYC in 1922.
Someone asked me privately about my post 53 and this was my private reply:
________________
"I don't know if it has ever been mentioned in any publication I know of, but I actually noticed it by chance.
About five years ago my older brother was visiting and I was showing him the National Building Museum and the Police Memorial. He mentioned a name of a LEO who had been killed in the line of duty near where he lives in Michigan. I showed him how to look up the name (it's much the same procedure as for the Vietnam War Memorial).
As we were walking toward the panel I was just letting my eyes scan the names on the other panels. For some reason, JD Tippit's name popped out at me. I stopped my brother and said something like, "Look at this." He's not into the JFK thing at all and I had to remind him who he was. Then, I noticed John Kennedy's name right next to Tippits. At first I thought maybe it was an honorary thing because the prez is the chief law enforcer, I guess. We looked him up in the reference book and that is when I realized there is no other reason for that name being there other than by random sequenceing. The memorial didn't begin until about 20 years ago (not sure) and I have no idea how they placed the names of LEOs who had been killed ILD from, I believe, 1900 to the time the memorial was built. Next time I'm down that way I'm going to get the other four or five names on that line to see if I can figure out the methodology they used.
Maybe Paul Harvey could get to the bottom of it and give us the Rest of the Story. LOL."
