In order to best memorialize their comrades, the Korean War
Veterans of Massachusetts, under the leadership of the late William "Red"
Mason, commissioned the installation of an audio playback system, on which
visitors may select and listen to the veteran's tales of war.
From over forty hours of interviews, Steve Bressler and his staff at
Monadnock Media produced four themed selections, each approximately 3
minutes in length. Selection is made by the visitor by pressing a button on
a stainless steel column nearby. The buttons are labeled "On the Line",
"Fighting Conditions", "Us & Them" and "Aftershock". Another two buttons
play "Empty Tables, Empty Chairs" and "Bring Them Home" from Les Miserables.
The audio playback and control equipment are housed in a utility room in a
building some 400 feet away, connected by underground conduit for the
wiring.
Special circuitry was developed to ensure reliable operation
of the remote pushbuttons over an extreme range of temperatures.
