TruE About the colors! I Love Cinco DeMayo!
However, though widely celebrated (mostly regionally), it probably is behind both thanksgiving and Indpendence Day (July 4th) in # of celebrants overall and once outside the southwest probably falls behind a good bit more.
and alas, it is not a U.S. holiday. And just like the 4th of July should not be an official holiday outside the US, that can not be OFFICIAL here.
It's a great cultural celebration, though! You should be proud to celebate it, as you obviously are!
Neat point about the colors too!

I would have never considered Cinco de Mayo one of the two most important holidays, at least not where I live.
Red and green are important colors.

How is Cinco de Mayo one of the most important holidays in America? It's not even an American holiday. Hell, most Americans don't even know what it's really about (Most people seem to think it's Mexico's independence day, which is Sep. 16).

They might be the two "most fun" holidays. (Come on you spoilsports, Cinco de Mayo in America is about eating mexican food and drinking Corona, what's not to love.)
But, I don't necessarily think "most important".
Cute though.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, Indpendence Day (USA), Easter, Columbus Day, St. Pat's day, You see my point.
You may celebrate this as you please and I think you are OK to do it, but it is a Mexican National Holiday not a USA one.
It celebrates the defeat of the French Army by mexican troops at the battle of Puebla in 1862.
Did you know they celebrate the Battle of Jacinto victory in Texas?
