As a non-Latino estadounidense, I can barely imagine immigrants (legal and illegal) celebrating 17 July in commemoration of our defeat at Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War in 1775.
Too few understand the meaning of Cinco de Mayo. No, it is not “Mexican Independence” (which is September 16). Cinco de Mayo celebrates the true Mexican spirit, when on May 5, 1862 (46 years after Mexican independence from Spain), near the city of Puebla, Mexico, an unarmed rag-tag band of Mexicans faced a well-armed contingent of elite French fighting forces of Napoleon III trying to conquer Mexico, and drove them out with only sticks and stones.

Let’s face it, as usual the American population has just found another reason to drink too much. Screw the reason! Full drinks ahead!
