And this very especially on the Cinco de Mayo - the day when an upstart American republic repulsed at Puebla the undemocratic ambitions of an imperialistic, and French, government. Americans of all nations and languages share important values and democratic traditions - even if at the present moment some governments, such as those in Havana and Caracas, aren't yet as good as their people. Cinco de Mayo reminds us we can never forget the importance of nurturing the hemispheric commercial and political ties which knit us together with our neighbors, and working shoulder to shoulder with them as a hemisphere of democratic American republics which are jointly committed to together promoting democracy, clean and efficient governance, and economic development throughout both our hemisphere and the world.
