Talk:Phillip Willis

Impacted

"Willis also testified to the Warren Commission that based on his previous World War II military and later many hunting experiences, he was sure that this first shot that he remembered hearing a micro-second before Z-202, had also impacted someone."

I have removed this sentence for inaccuracy. Willis actually said, "[T]he shots didn't ring out long like a rifle shot that is fired into midair in a distance. I knew it hit something, and it couldn't have been a firecracker or anything like that, so it impressed me, I remember…" — Walloon (talk) 03:57, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

"I am very dead certain"

In 1988 Willis, the decorated WWII hero, avid rifleman and hunter, and personal friend of Lyndon Baines Johnson, stated on camera in the 1988 BCC documentary, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy," that during his Warren Commission testimony all the Commission wanted to hear about was that Willis heard three shots that probably originated from the depository, but that for President Kennedy's fatal head shot Willis stated, "So I am very dead certain that, at least, one shot, including the one that took the president's skull off, had to come from the right front, and, I'll stand by that to my death." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2-_UhD3Qgk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.128.232.35 (talk • contribs) 13:41, 24 May 2008‎ (UTC)
