MASHPEE — Richard DeSorgher has been working tirelessly for the past two years on a veterans war memorial, researching every Mashpee veteran who served in war from the American Revolution to Vietnam.
But even after hundreds of hours spent poring over and verifying a list of names of the town's veterans, the 68-year-old Mashpee resident, realizing the project's significance, still isn't satisfied that his work is complete.
“I’ve checked it a thousand times,” DeSorgher said. “I’m just so nervous about it.”
The memorial, which will stand in the community park across from town hall, is expected to be finished around Memorial Day, complete with the names of 254 Mashpee veterans.
