great honor to meet i, a
pleasure, and i want to ask owen
a question real quick.
you may not realize this, but
the boats that are in all of the
motion pictures, that stormed
the beaches, owen, tell me about
those.
>> a lot of people know them as
landing craft, and they were
invented here in new orleans by
jackson higgins, and he made
thousands and thousands of them
here, and we deployed them in
the england and the pacific
theater, and by the time we got
boots on the ground, we got them
done, and that's why the
national world war ii museum is
here in new orleans.
>> appreciate the insight.
and sir, an honor to meet you
and thank you for serving the
country and helping the world.
>> glad to meet you.
>> have a good day, and
stephanie, thank you from the
world war ii museum.
>> that's exactly why our guests
called it the country's war, and
not just the military's war.
