1975年，奥利弗·惠灵顿“比利” Sipple是一名33岁的越战老兵居住在旧金山。在9月22日，同年，Sipple是一个在3000人的人群已经旧金山圣弗朗西斯酒店外聚集看到总统杰拉尔德·R·福特。站在旁边Sipple是萨拉·简·穆尔。
Within minutes, Moore had fired two shots from a revolver; the first narrowly missed the President. The second ricocheted and hit a cab driver, who survived, after Sipple dove towards Moore and grabbed her arm. Sipple was immediately hailed as a hero; the All-American, ex-marine who saved the President’s life. However, the narrative surrounding Sipple shifted within days, when he was publicly outed as homosexual.
