An inspiring monument to eight Mexican American soldiers from one short street in Silvis who gave the last full measure of their devotion during WWII and the Korean War. I am frequently in the neighborhood and did not think of stopping to pay my respects until reading a local history book "Hero Street, U.S.A.: The Story of Little Mexico's Fallen Soldiers" by Marc Wilson.
This is a generational community tribute to the men and women who have stood up for our freedom.
