Clint Hill served in the United States Secret Service for five presidents, including John F. Kennedy (JFK) and his family. Hill is perhaps best know for his act of bravery during the Kennedy assassination. He ran to the motorcade where the the president, who had been struck by a bullet, and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, were riding and threw himself on them to shield them from other gunfire. In this interview with Joel Heitkamp, Hill talks about the recent release of over 2,000 files from the JFK assassination investigation. He says he's hopeful that new information will be discovered "to answer the question of 'why?'"
