Cultural Celebrations in the United States make America unique because we all embrace other cultures.  We welcome the celebration of other customs and holidays.  In America a few other cultural celebrations we celebrate are St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest.  St. Patrick's Day helps us learn more about customs practiced in Ireland.  Oktoberfest lets us learn more about the traditions in Germany.  By celebrating these festivals we are given the opportunity to learn more about the history of these countries while uniting our communities.

3. Have you participated in celebrations in your own community? Compare and contrast these celebrations with Cinco de Mayo celebrations. I celebrate the holiday of St. Patrick's day, which is a celebration of Irish history that commonly remembers St Patrick, who is one of the saints who introduced Christianity to Ireland.  It is similar to Cinco de Mayo because they both celebrate the cultures of each others' respective country. The differences between the two is that Cinco de Mayo celebrates a war being won, while St. Patrick's Day remembers a famous saint.      -Wyatt Morgan :)

For Question 2,
It impacts a community, because they are celebrating their country and grateful about the battle in Puebla.  Cinco de Mayo is important because it is a celebration about an important day and they are happy to love their country and it's like Veterans Day but a little different.
