" El Cinco"
A Time to Celebrate Mexican Courage
The 1862 battles of Puebla-Zaragoza, México
proved the grit, determination and bravery of the greatly out
numbered Mexican forces when confronted by the French armies of
Napoleon III who was determined to place Maximilian as the monarch
of Mexico.
In OUR COUNTRY, as well as throughout Mexico, we celebrate
the 5th of May, in honor of those who fought so gallantly
to defend "La Madre Patria." In San Diego, we similarly
honor all those Mexican-Americans who fought in defense of their
country, the United States of America, often in circumstances
as in Puebla in 1862.
La Prensa San Diego will publish a special edition
on May 5th, 2000, commemorating the 5th
of May throughout the City and County of San Diego. We invite
all of you to join with us in the spirit of "CINCO DE MAYO."
