How many links would you like? Is it a holiday because Mexicans say it is? Find me what state agencies consider May 5th to be a holiday of any kind. I'll get you started.

Oh by the way, in my opinion which isn't worth much admittedly, I find it strange to celebrate a country's independence by wearing its national flag, while at the same time choosing not to live there.
