Mexico - Mexican Army Day
Mexican Army Day is observed in Mexico annually on February 19. This holiday cerebrates the foundation day of Mexican Army in 1913 and honors the 1911 Loyalty March, when President Madero was escorted by the Cadets of the Military College to the National Palace.
The Mexican Army is the largest branch of the Mexican Armed Forces. It was created in 1810 during the independence movement and became the first army to adopt the Mondragón rifle, a self-loading rifle, in 1908. The rifles became actively used in the army only in 1910.
