| The Andrew Jackson Higgins National Memorial in Columbus, Nebraska, honors the native who designed the "Higgins Boat"—a type of boat that played a crucial role in the Allied victory in World War II. The memorial features a life-sized model of the boat, a bronze statue of a soldier, a memorial to the 9/11 events, and a memorial walkway made of sand from the D-Day landing beaches. | |
