St.Patrick's day is celebrated on March 17, St.Valentine's day is celebrated on February 14. St.Patricks day has a four leaf clover as the holidays simboly. St. Valentine's day has a heart as it’s simboly. On St.Patrick's day people eat corned beef and cabbage, on St.Valentines day people eat chocolates and candy. St.Valentine's day and St.Patrick's day both have St and day in the name. Both St.Patrick's day and St.Valentine's day are celebrated on someone's death. St.Valentine and St.Patrick are both men. That is why St.Patrick's day and St.Valentine's day are both alike and different.

Cinco de Mayo- or the 5th of May- celebrates the 1862 victory made by the Mexican Army over France at the Battle of Puebla in Mexico during the Franco-Mexican War. The war took place from 1861-1867, and though the victory did not stand for the end of the war, or the final victory it showed the perseverance of the Mexican army. France’s army was known to have more equipment, better officers, and more well-trained soldiers than the Mexican army.The Mexican army had an immense amount of debt to European countries that they could not pay off themselves anytime soon. In response Britain, Spain, and France sent naval forces to Veracruz to collect their money that was owed to them. Though when France sent a massive amount of troops into Mexico it swept through the country quickly, but when the army arrived at Puebla, the Mexican army became triumphant with a surprising victory. Though the pride of the small army did not last long, as the France invaded Mexico City and took victory there. Although the remembrance of an unlikely victory is still recognized every fifth of May to remind everyone that size does not always matter, and sometimes luck will come to you in times of need.

Veterans Day was started on November 11, 1918. Before it was called veterans day it was called Armistice Day to represent the men who fought in WWI. After the United States went through WWII and the Korean War. The 83rd U.S. Congress amended the Act of 1938 by taking the word Armistice out and put the new word Veterans in place of it to represent every American that served in any war the U.S. has been in. Veterans Day was then moved to be celebrated on the fourth Monday of October, but most States didn’t agree with that decision made, so they tried it and it brought so much confusion when in 1971 it was celebrated on Oct. 25, until President Gerald R. Ford signed a law that states Veterans day will be moved onto the original

D day was June 6th in 1944. This was during World War II when the allied forces invaded or intruded a northern part of France in Normandy. They had spoken about it over the radio and all Jews were excited to hear such good news. D-day is recognized in the USA, but is not necessarily a all around celebrated holiday. Jewish people still do celebrate it in order to remember the horrific past of the war and the Jews to have survived it and those who died fighting.

Then early one morning while the Natives were still asleep, the settlers surrounded, attacked, and set ablaze a town full of Pequot Indians. They burned entire families alive. Anyone who escaped the fire, was hunted down, tramped into the mud, and savagely hacked to pieces. In the aftermath of the massacre, these depraved English terrorists thanked God for the easy victory over helpless and innocent people. Then on the very next day, their degenerate
