Anthony
Buccino researched and met local veterans of the D-Day invasion. He has written
about survivors and the fallen from Belleville and Nutley, N.J. Between the two
small northern New Jersey towns, at least 70 young men perished in the Normandy
invasion of Fortress Europe and V-E Day. Nutley lost 92 sons who died in WWII.
More than 110 Belleville sons died in WWII.
In August 2013, he spent a few days among the
D-Day
landing re-enactors at D-Day Ohio in Conneaut, Ohio.
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 on Aug. 16 and Aug. 17, 2013, on the shore of Lake Erie at
Conneaut Township Park in Conneaut, Ohio.
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.
