One of the memorable battles of the U.S. invasion of 1847 was when a group of young Military College cadets (now considered national heroes) fought to the death against a large army of experienced soldiers in the Battle of Chapultepec (September 13, 1847).
Et af de mindeværdige slag fra USA's invasion af Mexico i 1847, var da unge kadetter (der nu betragtet som nationalhelte) fra militærakademiet kæmpede til døden mod en stor hær bestående af erfarne soldater i slaget ved Chapultepec (13. september 1847).
