Amor Huff and the invasion of France
Monday, March 12, 2018
Recently, in a conversation with a new resident of McCook, the fellow mentioned his fondness for the Higgins landing craft, the little boat that played such an important part in the allied Normandy invasion of Europe, as well as the invasion of so many islands in the Pacific during World War II. This fellow and his brother had both operated one of these boats, and he was lavish with his praise. This reminded me of another fellow from our community who had a similar experience with the Higgins craft.
