Saint Patrick's Battalion
« on: September 12, 2008, 03:50:29 PM »
Today September 12 is what some people say is the anniversary of the execution of a number of men of the Saint Patrick's Battalion.  I've read some reports that say it was the 13th.  Either way you look at it, the actions of a group of immigrants who were discriminated against has earned Ireland the respect and admiration of Mexicans over a century later.

For those interested in the subject, there is a pitiful movie with Tom Berenger
