I felt intense guilt for not being able to save President Kennedy from "summary" of Mrs. Kennedy and Me by Clint Hill,Lisa McCubbin Hill
The moment President Kennedy was shot in Dallas, a wave of shock and horror swept over me. As a Secret Service agent sworn to protect him, I felt a deep sense of responsibility for his safety. The sight of Mrs. Kennedy scrambling onto the back of the limousine in a desperate attempt to reach her husband will forever be etched in my memory. Despite my best efforts to shield them both, the unthinkable had happened. In the aftermath of the tragic event, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that consumed me. I questioned every decision I made leading up to that fateful day. Could I have done something differently? Was there a way I could have prevented the assassination? These thoughts haunted me relentlessly, tormenting me with the weight of what had transpired. Witnessing the pain and anguish in Mrs. Kennedy's eyes as she cradled her husband's head in her lap only intensified my sense of failure. I had failed in my duty to protect the President, and the consequences were devastating. The loss of such a charismatic leader had left a void in the nation's heart that could never be filled. As I grappled with my emotions in the days and weeks following the assassination, I found myself consumed by a profound sense of regret. The what-ifs and if-onlys swirled around my mind, each one a painful reminder of my perceived shortcomings. The burden of guilt weighed heavily on my shoulders, a constant reminder of the tragic outcome I was unable to prevent.
