In February, former U.S. Secret Service Agent Clint Hill passed away at 93. Clint Hill was assigned to Jacqueline Kennedy’s secret service detail and on November 22, 1963, heroically climbed onto the back of the President’s limousine as shots were being fired in Dealey Plaza. Hill served under 5 presidents during his career with the Secret Service. For those interested, his funeral service is being live-streamed here. #restinpeace #clinthill youtube.com/live/Paik0xXHyLg

We'll just put this right here for any one interested in learning about the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 which mandated that by October 26, 2017, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) must release all withheld government files pertaining to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. What will be revealed as these documents are examined? Will the contents provide answers or create more questions? #jfk #jfkrecordsrelease #executiveorder #assassination #conspiracytheory

Over 200,000 people visited downtown Dallas to see President Kennedy's motorcade on November 22, 1963, but we only know of one person that saw the motorcade pass by from THREE separate locations in the route.
