Race to Parkland

The Race to Parkland

The limo sped up to 80 miles an hour in a race to Parkland Hospital, which is 4 miles away. At Parkland, chaos ensured. Agents surround Lyndon Johnson and over his protests, hustle him inside to protect him. He was now the President of the United States.
Mrs. Kennedy, bent over her dead husband, refused to allow him to be removed. She protected his lifeless body from view with her own. Sensing this, Agent Hill removed his suit jacket and placed it over the President's head.
