DATE: 06MAY2023 AO: The Bridge House Q: Toll House PAX: Toll House, Point Blank, Tweeter, Funky Bunch, Keurig, Piggy Back FNGs: 0 COUNT: 6
Today was Cinco de Mayo themed, so like the holiday, we celebrated Mexican-American culture with cadence in Spanish, everything with some sort of five tossed in, and some spicy Latin-American techno courtesy of Swingline (Franklin, TN). We had some history of Cinco de Mayo and the war for Mexican independence (different holidays) thrown in. Toll House pointed out that even though the Mexicans lost the second Battle of Pueblo, they still celebrate their victory at the first, as it provided a big morale boost to the cause, the application being that we should record and remember our victories so that we can remember them when things aren't going as well ("I will remember Your works of old." -King David). Another interesting point was that the war for independence was started in 1810, with Father Hidalgo's el grito - "The Shout." It is said that he loudly rang the church bell and cried out the following, "My children, a new dispensation comes to us today. Will you receive it? Will you free yourselves? Will you defend your religion and your rights as true patriots? Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe!" Leadership is recognizing the need to move to advantage, having a vision of how to do it, and then being able to articulate that vision in such a way that others will follow. Father Hidalgo's vision helped the Mexican people maintain resolve during the next 60 years of struggle against French occupation. Interestingly, the war was finally won after the U.S. military, flush with surplus weapons after the end of the Civil War, provided them to the Mexican military. Sometimes we all need a little help.
