There were many people who rode on the Higgins Boat. Some of the people shared at the opening ceremony of  The National D-Day Museum in New Orleans . The veterans all severed in Normandy, France.
        " We landed on a beach called Omaha. Easily read. Was so specified there was barb wire obstacles and the shell. The tide rose very quickly it was coming in behind us. When we hit the beach nothing more than a mass truly a mass of inter twined bodies lying on a shell ledge 7 yards wide shell ledge. He stepped off the landing ramp and stepped off into deep water the high  tide was coming in the whole approach to the German defense......."
           " On d-day in the morning 20 after 1 all we had to do was climb over and get in to the landing craft and take our position are equipment was all in the landing craft all ready to go because be had packed it so many time we could do it blind folded  and I knew when I got down in that landing craft and we headed to shore there was no turning back...."
        Adolf Hitler called Mr. Higgins " The New Noah".
        " We had a lot of good people trying to work hard" " About 90 percent of the people working were honestly helping the war." "They were going to make the best of it."
        " Women did help out in the plant because there were not enough men to work." "I'll never forget the first time that that shield on my head."
          There are many veterans that fought in the Invasion at Normandy.  And many were killed.
The people who rode on the Higgins Boat were heroes as were all of the veterans of WWII.
