`Letters Home to Hero Street` tells the story of a young Mexican-American man`s personal view of World War II as told through letters he sent home to his family on 2nd Street in Silvis, Illinois. He becomes one of eight veterans of WWII and the Korean War killed in combat from the same block-and-a-half long neighborhood now called Hero Street, USA---more than any other street in America.
