Shame non of the pictures were shared with online viewers but otherwise love Clint Hill , a human history book of the USA 🇺🇸

[@bootsnsaddle8289]

Out of ALL the Secret Service Agents, ONLY one re-acted immediately !!! Obviously, he is my hero !! I ABSOLUTELY love him !!!

[@jennyboland6067]

I had the great honor and privilege to meet Clint Hill on the 7th Floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building on the day after the 50th Anniversary of the assassination in 2013. I told Clint that he was a true American Hero and it was a real honor to meet him. He autographed his book & posed for a picture with me & I treasure both.

[@veronicaquednau320]

One heck of an American! Bless you, Mr Hill, for your bravery, your service, and your class. 😊

[@shaungarratt9941]

I could listen to him all day.

[@jltuttle1667]

Undaunted courage... uncompromised integrity.... a hero and model in every way

[@davidhall8049]

The hurt and his sadness on Clint hills face will touch me for a long while I can see the ghost of that day effect him still

[@andrewconlow5627]

Thank you Agent Hill, and Ms. McCubbin.

[@brober]

I had the honor and privilege of meeting Mr. Hill at a book signing. I asked him if he had seen the movie In the Line of Fire. He responded that he had and that Clint Eastwood had told him he based his character on Mr.Hill. His book Five Presidents is a fascinating look ,up close and personal at the men who have made American history and the brave men who protected them. Thank you for your heroic service Dr. Hill.

[@michaelbarnhart2593]

Thank you for your positive post Bruce! Sadly, a string of nasty comments from the conspiracy buffs about Mr. Hill, etc, will be forthcoming, no doubt.

[@jon122569]

No, this guy is a hero. I'm not convinced JFK wasn't shot from the front. But mr Hill is definitely a hero.

[@MarkSmith-sg1uw]

I'll second the recommendation for Five Presidents. There's a LOT more detail to his time in the USSS than what he said in this video. It was an excellent read!

[@michaelbarnhart2593]

***** I knew it would not take long. :-(

[@MarkSmith-sg1uw]

***** Did you learn about Native Americans from watching the animated movie Pocohontas? Or about law enforcement from watching the Lethal Weapon film series?

[@lamontconyers1715]

I am glad Mr. HIll was willing to give his account of his life as a secret service agent! The assassination of President Kennedy had to be painful to relive!

[@drglinski]

I would have liked to be able to see the photos that he was describing

[@katewoolf6059]

Omg I adore this man 😊

[@CrazyghostE313]

thanks fot the video....just one question......is there a way you could put in the photographs they are talking about....then it would be a real interesting video.....

[@SixthFloorMuseum]

Thank you for your comment! Due to copyright restrictions with the photographs, we are unable to feature them in the video.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Lisa McCubbin ended it beautifully by saying that Clint had in effect become a fantastic history teacher. And Clint’s last two words say it all: “Case closed.”

[@jameskilpatrick3017]

[@gregoryklein3311]

Nice photos.

[@melvindolan4910]

Very nice presentation but I would like for the pictures they are mentioning throughout would show up on the video.

[@VTPSTTU]

Asking the question of whether Agent Hill detected shots from another location was both rude and useless. Someone who has lived the life that he lived is going to support the official position about the assassination in public. He's not suddenly going to say that he saw or heard shots from another location. Putting him in that position accomplishes nothing. Another interesting point about that question is that even his recollections aren't quite in line with reality. From his description, I would have inferred that he was already on the car when the third shot was fired. The pictures and films show that he was just leaving the follow-up car when the third shot struck the president's head. The difference between his description and what the films show is just more evidence of how the human mind can distort memories and the time sequence of events of a traumatic memory. The difference is not a bad reflection on him. That's just how the mind works. His focus was on protecting Mrs. Kennedy, and he did that.

[@cruisingcory5414]

Never mind the fact he was 86 years old here!

[@marycull3607]

Yes it was his golf bag.

[@kylepellerinmjfmtributeartist]

43:04 is my favorite

[@carriemitch1]

Oh c'mon, the camera person can't pan out and show the photos?

[@lauraberendson4032]

please add the pictures

[@janiceleighton7348]

About what indeed yes it will in time

[@KishaAmenio06x]

[@kylepellerinmjfmtributeartist]

My favorite/funny part is 43:04

[@crumblefest]

Where are the pictures they are showing????

[@curtisspratte-lennington2311]

Due to copyright regulations they were not allowed to show any pictures on the screen.

[@stephensmith8621]

That would be Henry Hill or Sgt. Hill . Henry found the rifle and helped make the arrest at the theater.

[@bradleysmall2230]

actually Jackie tried to get out of the limo after the underpass while on the connector road to stemmons freeway. see liftons later work

[@gregoryklein3311]

....and she was going where?

[@cruisingcory5414]

@@gregoryklein3311 I have always wondered.

[@petelatrenta2513]

Besides there was a video camera mounted on the front of the agents car that videoed the whole assassination why don’t they show that or make it public record? I guess the many people that were behind it all wanted a home movie to view of there work from time to time!! lol

[@margaretbraniff7089]

The American Media & The 2nd Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy' is a great documentary on the subject of the assassination.

[@randyharris3175]

Rsnwolfe nobody cares if you believe I do

[@janiceleighton7348]

Clint never needed Lisa at all really he and others had best job looking after kids tec etc

[@randyharris3175]

Pancho you again Kennedy wanted everybody to see him do your damn research

[@janiceleighton7348]

Clint knows who did it

[@jdm1039]

He sure does. Lee Harvey Oswald.

[@janiceleighton7348]

And not Oswald

[@jackhowsley8457]

why did you and some of your coworkers never speak up about the ones involved that made it look bad for all of you

[@janiceleighton7348]

He owes his kids that his kids his kids the truth

[@janiceleighton7348]

He had falling on the seat when she got up for something so when she went back on seat he was already in her place were she sat she could not get back down good or back he did not fall in her lap

[@janiceleighton7348]

He was already down on seat when she was up there Clint pictures of that

[@janiceleighton7348]

Oswald did not shot him

[@janiceleighton7348]

She knows a lot more he told her

[@steveg2448]

He is too Righteous about how it happened. Two - three shooters at work that day

[@mikealvord55]

Fool. Prove it, evidence- you have none

[@rawbacon]

If it took 3 they must've been the worst assassins in the world...........There's zero physical evidence of more than one shooter.

[@janiceleighton7348]

Same old story but he knows who killed him as dose a lot of people

[@janiceleighton7348]

He was to silly to execute that Oswald

[@janiceleighton7348]

Clint needs to tell it all the end full stop

[@juanitawebb6102]

He is telling on LBJ

[@janiceleighton7348]

No she did not want to go he was inbarrest he did not think that big

[@c.hundley9714]

He should be behind bars . We know all of it. Touchdown Cowboys ring a bell

[@janiceleighton7348]

His kids would of killed for his playness

[@SueProv]

Oh shut up already

[@janiceleighton7348]

Clint played with JFK kids then his own he owes his blood the truth who did it he knows

[@janiceleighton7348]

Sadly money signs for Lisa here and job

[@Chauncey60]

Clint Hill and this wife of his are shameless opportunists. He is a fraud and a liar. How on Earth could be autograph photos of himself on the back the limousine? I give him credit for running to the car after the shooting was over but it was complete window dressing.

[@janiceleighton7348]

He owes his kids not enough playing with John Jr etc that dose not fix blood
