I had no idea this happened but I guess every month in Mexico City bagpipers honor the Irish who fought for Mexico by going through a plaza in downtown Mexico City."The ceremony honors the St. Patrick Battalion, a group of 600 Irish-American soldiers who switched sides to fight for Mexico in the 1846-1848 Mexican-American War. On St. Patrick's Day, many Mexicans will raise a glass to commemorate the "Irish martyrs" who are regarded as heroes in a war that still arouses passions here."
