I get the intended joke, but 5/5 is a US (yankee) civil war holiday. See the Mexicans defended against a French invasion (186-? against Napolean III). That matters because the French recognized the confederacy and wanted to ship them arms. The Mexican victory effectively restored the trade blockade against the confederacy, which aided in the ultimate victory of the union.
