FWIW, Cinco de Mayo is as much of an American holiday as it is a Mexican one. I read up on the history just earlier this year.
Check out the Battle of Puebla and its commemoration.
The ignorant Peas of Sh!t judge doesn’t realize that the American flag is JUST as important to that day as is the Mexican one.
Thank you for the correction. I really must stop believing every poster on FR.
A victorious battle against Napoleon’s invading troops on May 5 is certainly an historic event. I wonder how many Mexicans know that May 5 does not celebrate Mexican independence. We do not celebrate victory in the war of 1812. That would be a comparable celebration.
US citizens should use May 5 to celebrate a much desired victory over the invading hordes from Mexico. That too would be a comparable celebration.
