(November 21, 2008)--A couple whose efforts to shield their children after gunfire erupted in Dealey Plaza in Dallas 45 years ago Saturday became part of the history of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Bill Newman and his wife, Gayle, had settled on the lawn at Dealey Plaza a few minutes before Kennedy's motorcade glided by on Nov. 22, 1963.
Their two sons, Billy, 4, and Clayton, 2, were in tow.
Newman said he thought he heard fireworks as JFK's black convertible limousine approached, but as as the limo drew closer, Newman said, he could see blood on Kennedy and on Texas Gov. John Connally.
Newman said he told his wife: "Hit the ground."
Images of the Newmans shielding their boys captured international attention.
The Warren Commission concluded Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy's motorcade from the Texas School Book Depository, but a debate continues to rage on whether Oswald acted alone or whether he was the assassin at all.
