When we first started thinking about the Protective Intelligence Honors program, Clint Hill was the first person that came to mind. Some may not recognize the name, but anybody who has ever stood watch on protection or is a student of American history has seen Hill’s heroic reaction in Dallas, Texas. In 1963, shots rang out into the motorcade carrying President John F. Kennedy, and from the left-running board of the follow car in the motorcade, Hill jumped on the back of the moving limousine to form a human shield over the First Lady and the President. Hill’s lightning speed reaction was credited for saving the life of Jaqueline Kennedy.
