That history is materially false.

The historical events and movements are true.

But 5 May ad a holiday is the creation of a beer distribution company in San Antonio created to sell Mexican beer.

Why do Mexicans celebrate the day of 5 mayonnaises?

It’s a MEXICAN holiday, not an AMERICAN holiday.

We need to round a bunch of illegals today. Then Trump gets on TV and wishes happy Cinco de Mayo.

I prefer to celebrate February 2nd, the day the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed.

If it is so deeply rooted why is it almost no mejican knows what it is about and the only people that really celebrate it are Americans who never pass up an opportunity to get drunk?

Oh puleeze!

May 5th a Mexican army unit defeated a vastly outnumbered French unit. That is all.

THAT is Mexico's great(est) military victory.

National Day calendar says today is National Hoagie Day. Far more worthy of a post than this.

This is America...Mexicans want to have barbecues, beer parties etc...go for it...

It shouldn't be listed on any USA calendar. They don't even celebrate it in Mexico.

My oldest son was always late to the party. In this case, he arrived 5 minutes into May 6th. It wasn't a great Cinco de Mayo for my wife in 1980.

I expect there will be a lot more stores like this tomorrow morning:

Three people are dead and five others were injured after a shooting at a restaurant in a Phoenix suburb Sunday night.

They were celebrating, what else: Cinco de Mayo, where it wouldn't be a proper party w/o gunfire erupting at some point.

The battle of Puebla was in 1862, not 1861.

St. Patrick's Day isn't any historical landmark, either, but it's fun anyway. Let's get into the spirit of the thing!

It's the Cinco de Mayo, I think
A wonderful motive to drink
By the time that it's dawn
The tequila's all gone
And you're vomiting into the sink.

I know I'm looking forward to it...
