Shortly before midnight, Agent Paul Landis and I took Mrs. Kennedy and Bobby back to Arlington National Cemetery. They wanted to see the eternal flame and to spend a few minutes alone at the gravesite. #FiveDaysInNovember

It was an honor to meet former President George H.W. Bush at his Walker Point home a few years ago. He dedicated his life to family and service to our country. A true patriot. #RIP41

I have no info re:what the @SecretService pays for hotel rooms these days, but when I used to go to Palm Beach with #JFK and Mrs.Kennedy, all the agents stayed at Woody’s Motel. We paid for the rooms out of our $12 per diem which also had to cover meals & laundry. #PresidentsDay

As Mrs.Kennedy’s primary Secret Service Agent, I was by her side the entire day. The pain was unimaginable. It was also John Jr.’s 3rd Birthday.

11/22/63. Thousands had gathered for a glimpse of President Kennedy outside the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. He loved interacting with the people. @JFKLibrary #FiveDaysInNovember #JFK

11/25/63 When John Jr. honored his father with a salute, it nearly broke my heart. It was his 3rd birthday, and I'd been there the day he was born. The backstory behind that iconic salute in my book #FiveDaysInNovember . @lisa_mccubbin @GalleryBooks

On the way to the Capitol, riding behind the caisson and riderless horse, I saw people sobbing, their eyes hollow with grief. And all you could hear was the clip-clop of the horses' hooves, and the haunting beat of the drums. 11/24/63

55 years ago today, over 250,000 people waited for hours overnight to pay their respects to our fallen president. Mrs. Kennedy asked me to take her brother-in-law Prince "Stash" Radziwill to the rotunda. Another moment I will never forget. #FiveDaysInNovember

@BeschlossDC San Antonio was our first stop in Texas. Enthusiastic crowds. The beginning of a very long day. But you can see how happy JFK and Mrs. Kennedy were.
