Happy late Cinco De Mayo

Just a little FYI:
In addition to its importance in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is significant to all Americans
because it marks the last time that any foreign power has acted the aggressor on North American soil. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2004 that 24 million U.S. residents were of Mexican descent, accounting for nearly 10 percent of America’s population. One of the most interesting Cinco de Mayo celebrations takes place in Chandler, Ariz. Chandler holds annual Chihuahua races and parades. At the end of the day the two most stylish dogs are crowned king and queen of the celebration.
