***Here are a few Words of Wisdom:
Cinco de Mayo means the Fifth of May. This is a very important date for
both Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. All over Mexico and in some
parts of America, there will be parades and parties and fireworks.
Why celebration? Because in 1862 on the Fifth of May, a poorly
armed Mexican army won a great victory over the French army. Even
though the Mexicans had poor weapons-some had to fight with farm
tools - they fought hard for their country and for their freedom.
On Cinco de Mayo, Mexicans celebrate the bravery of these Mexican
soldiers and their fight for freedom. We Americans can join in this
celebration because . . . .
America is the land of the free.
Our freedom gives us the power to choose where we live or work, where
we will play or worship.
So today we can join our Mexican neighbors as we celebrate
the importance of freedom for all people all over the world.
***With something to think about, Make it a great day....or not. The choice is yours.
