Today the Southington community had the privilege to welcome home WWII Technical Sergeant Donald Arthur Dorman🇺🇸

At 21 years young, his stories and legacy remind us of the incredible bravery and sacrifices made so many decades ago

Seeing him brought home to be buried is a powerful reminder that our fallen are never forgotten, no matter the amount of time that passes.

May he rest in peace at Oak Hill Cemetery.
