17. Clint Hill Believes He Could Have Saved JFK If Placed Differently

Secret Service Agent Clint Hill did his best to try to save JFK the best he could. For the parade, Hill was placed on the bumper of the follow-up car and immediately sprang to action when he heard the first shot. Unfortunately, two other bullets hit the president before Hill could reach him to try to protect him from any more harm. Because Hill was placed so far from JFK, he has always felt that if he were placed on the bumper of JFK’s car, he would have been able to save the president.
