| Participant or Performer Note: | Narrator: Robert Fass. |
| Summary, etc.: | Tells the unforgettable story of patriotism about twenty-two Mexican American families who lived on one street in a small Illinois railroad town that sent fifty-seven of their children to fight in World War II and Korea--more than any other place that size in the country. Eight of those children died. Based on interviews with relatives, friends, and soldiers, it is the compelling account of a street of soldiers who fought both in battle and to be accepted in an American society that remained biased against them even after they returned home as heroes. |
