Cinco De Mayo: Happy Cinco de Mayo, a day to party while clad in red and white and green
To drink Coronas and eat Mexican rice with a side of refried beans.
You could drink a Margarita, or around a glass of Dos Equis your hand might be curled
As you believe at least for a day you could be the most interesting man in the world. 2๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

But there is something you should know about Cinco de Mayo...something to remember.
It does not celebrate Mexicoโs Independence Day, (thatโs the 16th of September) .
Today celebrates the Battle of Puebla where a small number of Mexicans stopped the advance
Of the larger, more equipped and better trained oncoming army of France.
It celebrates freedom and courage and pride in the face of an unbeatable foe
It celebrates the Mexican heritage and the people of Mexico. # 3๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

In truth when we take the time to celebrate another countries spirit itโs not very far from our thoughts
To remember and celebrate our own country and the battles for freedom weโve fought.
It reminds us that freedom is precious, and should come with some chivalry
For we know the only way to enjoy freedom is for everyone to be free.
Itโs a time to remember that freedom has a price, not just today but every day. 4๏ธโฃ โฌ๏ธ

For there are many people out in the world who would take that freedom away.
So as you raise a glass this Cinco de Mayo as you celebrate vociferously
Remember in a way youโre celebrating all people who fight for the right to be free. By: Jim Yerman

I am so moved by your statement on this piece. It kept me thinking about what we - Americans - are going thru. I feel like we are fighting for our freedom too. Besides the corona virus our country is so torn and there is so much infighting it scares me - a lot. I hope the American people will soon feel the calm and dignity and solidarity as a proud nation again - I fear that will be our battle and cross to bearโฅ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ

I wholeheartedly, agree @Peyz33 aka Karen ๐บ๐ธ ๐ค I certainly hope, we as Americans, can stop the inner fighting with each other like our politicians, and come together and work together, to be proud Americans again. ๐บ๐ธโค๏ธ๐น๐๐ฏ๐๐ค๐๐
