Cinco de Mayo is celebrating kicking French ass.
It's cool that Mexico has lots of Independence Days to celebrate.

I once saw an old movie on Turner Classic Movies called "Juarez". Benito Juarez was played by Paul Muni. Empress Carlotta was Bette Davis. It was said to be historically accurate. Juarez was writing letters to President Lincoln. Emperor Max was eventually executed.
