Nebraska National Guard staff ride participants pose for a photo, July 16, 2019, in the Higgins Boat Monument, a memorial to Nebraska-native Andrew Jackson Higgins at Utah Beach, during a 75th D-Day Anniversary tour of Normandy’s beaches. 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.
