"The Last to Fall from Hero Street: John Muños' Story," tells the story of PFC John S. Muños who grew up in a boxcar home on 2nd Street (now named Hero Street) in Silvis, Illinois. He married his sweetheart, Mary Beserra, three months before he entered the Army on January 15, 1951. An ill-timed furlough allowed him to visit his wife and family one last time before deployment, but it also sealed his fate. He served in the Korean War with Co. F of the 38th Regimental Combat Team, Second Infantry Division. On August 27, 1951, at age 23, John was among 740 Americans killed in the Battle of Bloody Ridge. His body was never recovered. Interviews with family members, friends, veterans, community leaders and historians are combined with vintage photos, original photography by Ray Congrovefilm, and archival materials, and to tell an unforgettable story of American courage, character and perseverance. 

The documentary features the critically-acclaimed new song "Hero Street" by musician David G. Smith, soon to be released on his new album. Visit https://davidgsmithmusic.com/ for more information.

Only a block and a half long, the street lost six young men in World War II and two in the Korean War, more than any other street in America.  Hero Street, as it is now known, has provided over 150 service members since World War II.

“Hero Street”, a documentary series by Emmy® Award-winning filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle, explores the compelling true story of eight Mexican-America heroes: Tony Pompa, Frank Sandoval, William Sandoval, Claro Solis, Peter Masias, Joseph Sandoval, Joseph Gomez and John S. Muños.

"The Last to Fall from Hero Street" DVD includes the film, bonus features, and a subtitle option for the hearing impaired.
