    • About the presentation

    This class is a priceless discourse on the experiences of a secret service agent while protecting six U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state, beginning with the administration of President Kennedy. Insider information on security activities during special events such as the Bicentennial period in 1976 provides insight into how the Secret Service Agency operated at the time and how it relates to present-day security challenges.
