"I had no idea there was the Vietnam War Memorial. It was quite moving. There are a lot of paved walkways around the park. I hadn't been in years and I was very surprised."

About This Memorial

The Central Massachusetts Korean War Memorial in Worcester, dedicated in 2003, honors the 191 soldiers from Worcester County who died in the Korean War. Its centerpiece is a polished black granite wall inscribed with their names, later complemented by a bronze statue depicting a Korean-era American soldier with a Korean child, symbolizing both the orphans saved during the war and Korea's hopeful future. The memorial also features educational signs, flagpoles, and a Walkway of Honor with bricks commemorating Massachusetts' fallen from Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Gulf Wars. It stands among Worcester's six major war memorials, collectively honoring service from the Civil War through Southeast Asia conflicts.
