Clint Hill covered much ground in his 93 years

The death of Clint Hill  at 93 has been covered in the media in the last days.

He was a US Secret Service agent who was assigned to Jacqueline Kennedy. On the fateful day in Dallas when JF Kennedy was assassinated he threw himself in front of the president hoping to take the bullet.

For years he believed had he gone in the other direction the president's life would have been saved. Years later he visited the spot and learned he could not have saved the president.

His mother separated from her husband 17 days after Clint’s birth and the infant was place in a children’s home. Three months later he was adopted by a Norwegian couple.

In 2021, when he was 89, he married the co-author of his book, Lisa McCubbin.

Some man, inspiration for all of us.
