They built that memorial few years ago in respect for Vietnam Veterans. Those stones has "copies" of soldiers' letters... I have read some. Can't believe that was written before killed.

Info from internet:

Welcome
to the Massachusetts Vietnam Veterans' Memorial. Dedicated in June 2002, it is located on Skyline Drive at Green Hill Park in Worcester. The 4-acre location includes a pond, walking paths and the Memorials. A place to provide a dignified, quiet, natural location for reflection and learning.

The Memorial is designed in three sections called places. These consist of the PLACE OF FLAGS, PLACE OF WORDS and PLACE OF NAMES.

The PLACE OF WORDS shows text from letters written home by some of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who died in Vietnam.

The PLACE OF NAMES proclaims in stone, the name of each and every Massachusetts resident who died in combat or as a result of wounds received while in action in Vietnam.
