D-Day
Conneaut
brings together the die-hard re-enactors (most will sleep in their
bivouac during the event) with vendors of nearly everything a
collector needs from belt buckles and canteens to steel-pot helmets
(for various armies) and a replica side-car motorcycle.
Anthony Buccino joined nearly 20,000 re-enactors and visitors at
2013's gathering on Aug. 16 and Aug. 17 on the shore of Lake Erie at Conneaut Township
Park in Conneaut, Ohio. Read his

D-Day Ohio event organizers expect 2014's 15th
annual D-Day Conneaut re-enactment of the Normandy Invasion on Aug.
22 and 23, 2014, to draw the largest turnout yet. The event will
mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day assault. In the
meantime, the group acquired the First Hungarian Reformed Church and
will create a local museum that will be home to World War II and
1940s artifacts.
