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.
Target Audience Note:
