Hero Street, U.S.A.: The Story of Little Mexico’s Fallen Soldiers

Excellent reading of possible ancestors.

This is an interesting and enjoyable book that was well researched and written in a style that’s fun to read!

the truth.

Writing a book is no easy task. Writing a book of this magnitude with all its emotional undertones and inherent sadness is even more difficult. I know the author labored long and hard to tell a story that needed to be told and to recognize the sacrifice of these families. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone. A beautiful story, well told.

Marc did a wonderful job of telling this story. It is hard to imagine the tough lives these families endured with the hope of attaining what most of us take for granted - solid standing as U.S. citizens. This book has made me more aware of the "invisible" families that I come in contact with every day.

This book is garbage and is a complete disrespect to those who know the true story and uniqueness of Hero Street USA. For starters, there are 8 soldiers that have been memorialized on this block with numerous plaques, awards, brochures, literature, documentaries, and The Hero Street Monument itself. So why would only four of them be on the cover? Then, the names are incorrect as well to which the pictures do not match up. To top it off, the information in the book itself contains an abundant amount of inconsistencies and non-factual statements. This book is joke and is another classic example of trying to make money off something which has been told correctly generation after generation.If you want the real history and story take it upon yourself to get information first hand from those relatives still living or take the trip to see The Hero Street Monument itself. There, one will get the stories that have been told and will continue to be told word of mouth, for generations to come.I wanted to give this "0" stars but in order for it to take my review I had to at least give it "1" star.
