We really drove to the Worcester Common to see the "Burnside Fountain". While there, I glimpsed a monument several feet away, and walked over to check it out. The Southwest Asia War Memorial, designated in 1993 and constructed in the City of Worcester is the official Massachusetts State monument for the Veterans of the Southwest Asia War. This monument on the Worcester Common is in memory of those who gave their lives in the Desert Shield/Desert Storm conflict.
I called over to our son, who served in Desert Shield/Desert Storm, (straight out of UCLA) and he and my husband walked over. We were all quite impressed. First, this is the very first such memorial monument we have seen anywhere, and second, it is very nicely done. We were not even aware it was there.
The monument consists of a larger standing monument and a lower tablet, which bears the words, "THE OFFICIAL STATE MONUMENT FOR VETERANS OF THE SOUTHWEST ASIA WAR". On the back, nine names are listed under the title "Honor Roll".
This Memorial is well taken care of.
