Honoring the past, shaping the future. This new interactive exhibit at Green Hill Park is the result of a powerful collaboration between Worcester Technical High School, the Massachusetts Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and local Vietnam veterans. Students from various departments at Worcester Tech helped design, build, and bring this exhibit to life, while ten veterans generously shared their personal stories to honor the 2.7 million who served during the Vietnam War.
Special thanks to the Worcester Tech Departments that participated: History, Drafting, Carpentry, Welding, Advanced Manufacturing, Finance & Marketing, Graphic Communications, Painting & Design, and Culinary & Hospitality (for hosting the Veterans Lunch). We hope these stories inspire visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made by these brave men and women.
