Victim of Drunk Driving another sad story.

Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week is an observance in the United States that pays tribute to the local, state, and peace officers. The Memorial takes place on May 15, and Police Week is the calendar week in which the Memorial falls.

The holiday was created on 1 October 1961 when Congress asked the president to designate 15 May to honor peace officers. John F. Kennedy signed the bill into law on October 1, 1962.  To honor peace officers who are disabled and killed in the line of duty.

JFKFAN was already disabled and living in near poverty in the State of Connecticut , and had online advocated for this Nation to please help law enforcement officers who like him, live alone and are on social security and disability income.

On May 15 th 2010 while returning home, he was struck from the rear by a minor who was drag racing at a high rate of speed. The minor was charged with drunk driving as well as leaving the scene . In addition it was found that the vehicle driven by the perpetrator was not insured .

JFKFAN  is left nearly alone to deal with all of this with multiple injuries as well as his car was destroyed and had no collision as it was a older vehicle .

The bitter irony in this story is how on May 15, was the same holiday that his idol JFK had designated that day to recognized he as well as other officers.
