The assassination changed everything for me from "summary" of Mrs. Kennedy and Me by Clint Hill,Lisa McCubbin Hill
The moment that President Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas, changed my life in ways I could have never anticipated. Everything that I had known up to that point seemed to vanish in an instant. The images of that fateful day are forever seared into my memory - the chaos, the fear, the overwhelming sense of loss. As Mrs. Kennedy's Secret Service agent, my job was to protect her at all costs. But on that day, as the shots rang out and the world around us descended into madness, I felt utterly helpless. The assassination of President Kennedy not only shook the nation to its core, but it also shattered the world that Mrs. Kennedy and I had known. Our close bond, forged through years of working together and weathering countless challenges, was tested in ways we never could have imagined. The weight of grief and trauma that we both carried in the aftermath of that tragic event was almost too much to bear. In the days and weeks following the assassination, I watched as Mrs. Kennedy struggled to come to terms with her husband's death. The once vibrant and charismatic First Lady seemed to retreat into herself, consumed by a grief so profound that it was almost palpable. As her protector and confidant, I did my best to offer her comfort and support, but I knew that nothing could ever fully heal the wounds left by such a devastating loss. The assassination changed the course of my life in ways that I am still coming to terms with. The sense of guilt and responsibility that I carry for not being able to prevent the tragedy haunts me to this day. And yet, in the midst of all the pain and sorrow, there was a glimmer of hope - a shared understanding between Mrs. Kennedy and me that we would somehow find a way to carry on, to honor President Kennedy's legacy, and to never forget the love and devotion that had bound us together in even the darkest of times.
