On 11/22/63, Hill risked his life to to save the First Lady's—and tried in vain to save the President's. Later, he spoke candidly about the PTSD and depression he suffered in the aftermath. He went on to serve other presidents, but his friendship with Jackie Kennedy endured. RIP.

Despite their different backgrounds—he grew up poor in a rural town, she grew up with great privilege—Hill and Jackie formed an unlikely friendship. He was by her side through the great events of the era. (3/4).

In 1960, Hill was a young Secret Service given the job of a lifetime: handling security for the incoming First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. At the time, neither knew she would soon be one of the most famous people in the world. (2/4).

I was so sad to learn about Clint Hill’s passing earlier this week. His story featured prominently in my book with @bradmeltzer, #TheJFKConspiracy. (1/4).

A Secret Service agent, he leaped onto the president’s limousine in Dallas in 1963 and was credited with saving the first lady’s life. But he was haunted by his inability to save her husband.

It’s #PresidentsDay. @bradmeltzer and I have now written books about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. With all their differences, these presidents shared a core belief: our democratic system must stand up to tyrants and authoritarians.

He used the constitution to shatter the constitution.
