Despite an order to flee to their homes, the military cadets refused to leave, and six who died in the fighting are commemorated as the Niños Héroes. The youngest was aged just 13 and none was older than 20. Despite some doubts which have been raised about the more colourful aspects of the legend (e.g. wrapping themselves in the national flag and leaping to their deaths from the battlements), they remain among the most honoured figures in Mexico's pantheon of national heroes. When US president Harry Truman placed a wreath at their monument on a visit to Mexico in 1947, the gesture went down very well, so much so that President Clinton repeated it in 1997.* * *I adj young; despchildish;¡no seas niño! don’t be childish!II m1 boy;como niño con zapatos nuevos like a child with a new toy3:niños pl children* * *niño, -ña n: child, boy m, girl f* * *niño n3.
