    Those photos are a part of history, I saw him talk in a documentary last year and the sadness in his voice said it all. It was very moving. RIP Clint.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    I saw that documentary too. You could tell the assassination still haunted him. He probably thought a thousand times in his mind: "What could I have done differently?"
    For anybody who watched the TV show Quantum Leap: at the end of the two part episode about Lee Harvey Oswald, it is Clint Hill that Sam "leaps" into to save Jackie Kennedy.
