McCarthy was a member of the Secret Service assigned to the Presidential Protection detail for 8 years most notably serving as a member of Ronald Reagan's detail. During the 1981 assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan; Agent McCarthy put himself between the shooter and President Reagan taking a bullet in the abdomen. He is the only person in history to take a bullet for a US President while physically shielding them. He ended up making a full recovery and is still involved in law enforcement, serving as Police Chief in Orland Park, Illinois.
He signed and returned the photo I sent him in a total of 16 days.
