>> I remember clearly the day Reagan was shot. But what I most remember is the Secret Service Agent diving in front of the President and taking a bullet in the d-section. I hear he was critically wounded but cannot remember what happened to him after the event. Takes courage and superb training to take one for the Gipper like that.

I believe his name was McCarthy and that he retired with a disability.

Now for the amazing part and the reason for this post:

The SS agent that played such a leading role in saving RR's life had decided to become a SS agent as a consequence of seeing one of RR's earliest films! The film was something like Code of the Secret Service or similar and RR played a SS agent. (Credit for this goes to RR friend Robert Stack and Unsolved Mysteries).
