JFKFAN is a retired disabled peace officer in the State of Connecticut. President Kennedy On May 4th 1963 designated by Proclamation 3537 – Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week to commence on May 15 each week to honor disabled peace officer and killed in line of duty:
Now, Therefore, I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate May 15, 1963, and May 15 of each succeeding year, as Peace Officers Memorial Day, in honor of those peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, have lost their lives or have become disabled in the performance of duty.

On the morning of Saturday May 15 th 2010 JFKFAN while traveling in Hamden Ct he was suddenly struck from the rear end by a drunk driver age 16 whom was drag racing.
JFKFAN great grand uncle is buried in Arlington Nation cemetery a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient who received the Congressional Medal of honor from Abraham Lincoln and within 50 or so feet from JFK, RFK, and Teddy Kennedy.
May 15 was the day President Kennedy designated for disabled peace officers.
The bitter irony that he was hit from the rear , car totaled , by a drunk driver on the same date as his hero JFK designated May 15, as disabled peace officer week. Miraculously he was not killed in a small SUV taking the full impact of a large SUV traveling at a high rate of speed.
Days before he was tweeting about disabled peace officers week on twitter and Organizing for America blog on May 5 :
