The heroic Secret Service agent who leapt into action in a brave bid to save John F Kennedy from being assassinated has revealed he is still haunted by what he saw that day.
Clint Hill leaped out of a car and hurled himself onto the back of the presidential limousine seconds after a bullet hit Kennedy in the neck on November 22, 1963.
But he was seconds too late.
Before he could create a human shield between President Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy, another shot was fired by Lee Harvey Oswald as the limousine traveled through Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
This one hit Kennedy in the head, splattering his brain matter and blood all over his car – and on Jackie’s pink Chanel suit, which she famously insisted on wearing on the flight back to Washington with her husband’s body.
Now, on the 55th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination, Hill has revealed to the Sun Online that he still blames himself for the president’s death because ‘he should have been faster.’
‘One thing that I’ve never been able to erase from my mind is being on the back of the car looking down at the president who was lying with his face in Mrs Kennedy’s lap,’ Hill told the website.
Now 86, he said he would always remember seeing the inside of Kennedy’s skull after the shot blasted through it.
