- Jon EJon Eastty14 contributionsGreat place, safe, well maintained. Nice pretty much any time of year. Went during daytime and loved itWritten 26 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- stephen v7 contributionsGreat memorial to a forgotten war. You can buy a brick with your veterans name on it. Parking directly in front of it.Written 4 December 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NelsontouchWashington DC, DC67 contributionsNice piece of turn of the 20th Century kitsch. Read the Wikipedia entry for both the official story of the sculpture and to find out why college students think it's funny! Not worth a special trip, but if you are in Worcester, don't miss it.Written 18 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NYU62Tucson, AZ18Â 149 contributionsWe 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.Written 10 July 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
