A close up view of one of the statues that accompanies the Higgins Boat Monument at Utah Beach in Normandy, France, July 18, 2019, during a 75th D-Day Anniversary tour of Normandy’s beaches. The boats were invaluable for the invasion and were designed by a former Nebraska National Guard Soldier by the name of Andrew Jackson Higgins of Columbus, Nebraska. A small contingent of Nebraska Army National Guard Soldiers traveled with Maj. Gen. Daryl Bohac, Nebraska adjutant general, to Normandy, France, July 14-18, for the 75th Commemoration of the Liberation of Saint Lo during World War II. The 33 Soldiers visited France as part of a staff ride to learn more about the history of the 134th Infantry Regiment’s involvement in World War II, including assisting with the liberation of the town of Saint Lo.
