DORRANCE — in April, 2018, Dorrance mayor and business owner Bob Boatright and a handful of supporters began work on a veterans memorial. It was completed in time for Memorial Day, 2019. Located at the corner of the city’s only park, visitors to Dorrance can’t miss it, he says, as it’s visible from all directions.
