CONNEAUT, OH… The Adams Brothers, Lee and John had an interesting move on August 13th when they each hauled a LCVP transport from Piqua, Ohio to Conneaut, Ohio for the Annual D-Day Reenactment.  The brothers have a grain farm near Piqua, Ohio and Lee owns LCVP 1190-2 and the trailer it is hauled on. The other LCVP, hauled by John, belongs to D-Day Ohio.

The Adams Brothers planned to deliver the two LCVPs on August 13th, the day before the reenactment was to begin. Their journey was not without its challenges as Lee blew a steer tire near Painesville, Ohio on I-90.  With some tools and lots of “MacGyver” resourcefulness, Lee and John did some roadside repairs to change the tire.  The LCVPs made it on time to Conneaut.  John was able to launch his at the boat dock, but Lee’s had to unloaded with a crane, which was very interesting to watch!
