D-Day
Conneaut is pleased to present this 2009 Challenge Coin in commemoration of the
65th Anniversary of D-Day. This is our 10th Anniversary, and this coin will
be the beginning of an annual series of D-Day Conneaut commemoratives.
This antique bronze coin is 1-3/4 inch in diameter and features both an Allied and
Axis side. The Allied side features an allied soldier on the beach. The shingle
is the clearly depicted as the soldiers takes one final step towards LIBERTÉ. The flags of the major allied forces
involved as well as the names of all the landing beaches, UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD,
JUNO and SWORD encircle the scene as the soldier steps off of a landing craft
onto the shores of France. The soldiers boot symbolically steps off the
shores of England and into France as it was 65 years ago. 1944 NORMANDY LXV
(65) and 2009 CONNEAUT X (10) and the dates of each event proudly commemorate the
best D-Day Reenactment in the U.S. Lastly, the font chosen closely represents the
same font used on the grave markers overlooking Omaha Beach.
The axis side features a design
reminiscent of the hallmark signatures of the Atlantic Wall. GOTT MIT UNS,
the phrase upon every German Soldatin's belt buckle, is embossed upon a sunburst field
just like the original. The phrase, INFANTERIE KONIGIN ALLER WAFFEN, a common propaganda poster slogan, Infantry, King of all Weapons,
encircles this dramatic scene: A sentry standing atop of the Atlantic Wall
pears into a stormy English Channel as the allied tide of ships approach the Norman
Coast. A second solder responding to the Alarm runs to his station through a
trench behind a barbed wire fence. A bunker in the distance awaits the
invasion.
This spectacular coin is minted in complete 3D protected by an epoxy coating. Supplies are very limited so don't delay in ordering yours now. Help keep our event alive with this outstanding commemorative...

Each and every year the reenactment has grown in both quality and size and this DVD

angles capture dedicated re-enactors for maximum intensity and realism as they

actual Veterans of D-Day discussing their experiences coupled with the invasion
recreation. Bonus features include a behind the scenes walkthrough of the
event's preparation and production, special commentary by Richard Fike on the
pyro-techniques used and a slide
show of stunning high definition photographs taken by Brian Verdi. As a
special bonus,

War Veterans Walter L. Bartlett (9th field Artillery Unit 3rd Infantry Division)
and Loren E. Bean (7th Regiment 3rd Division) are also included.
This one of a kind DVD brings back to life all the action of the 2008 event and
more including the spectacular Combat Engineers and P-51 air assault against German Pillboxes.
