- THE OFFICIAL - Hero Street Home Page
- Meta Description
- The official Hero Street USA website - Silvis, IL is a street that has great history and tradition to uphold its name. It has earned the name with honor and with the blood of eight boys, all of Mexican descent, who tragically gave their young lives on fields of combat for a country they felt was well worth dying for. It has been researched and documented by The Department of Defense in Washington, D.C., that there is no other street of comparable size that has sent as many men and women to serve in the armed forces than this block of approximately twenty-five homes. Hero Street USA has sent more than 110 men and women into the military. Fifty-seven men went in during World War II & Korea, and over 20 more to Vietnam. These eight men: Joseph Gomez, Peter Macias, Johnny Muños, Tony Pompa, Frank Sandoval, Joe Sandoval, William Sandoval, and Claro Soliz, lost their lives in World War II and Korea.
