Reports on a reunion of surviving members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, a volunteer force of Americans who fought against the Spanish fascists during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Of the 2,800 who served with the brigade, 800 died in action. Only 90 are still alive. The 17 who made it to their 67th reunion recollected battles called Brunete, Jarama, Teruel and the Aragon offensive. They got no help from the United States government. Like the governments of Great Britain and France, former President Franklin Roosevelt's administration preferred to stay on the sidelines of a civil war in which Nazi Germany backed Francisco Franco and communist Russia helped his Republican opponents. Those at the reunion had not changed their minds about their idealism. Unlike the men and women who fought in the Iraq War, the fighters in Spain got a faint welcome when they returned home.
