En el Panteón de Mexquitic, existe un monumento en su honor con la leyenda: "El insigne soldado del 5º Batallón de infantería Cosme Damián Carmona Ortiz, símbolo del Ejército Nacional".
La Intervención Francesa
En 1861, los franceses invadieron México, esgrimiendo como razón, la suspensión de la deuda externa decretada por el Presidente Benito Juárez. Nuestro país se encontraba dividido en dos corrientes ideológicas: liberal y conservadora. Después de la derrota sufrida el 5 de mayo de 1862 en Puebla, los franceses se retiraron y reorganizaron en Orizaba, avanzando nuevamente en 1863 sobre Puebla y México. En 1863, ya con Maximiliano de Habsburgo, se inició el Segundo Imperio Mexicano, existiendo dos gobiernos: el del Presidente Juárez, constitucionalmente respaldado, y el de Maximiliano, producto de la invasión. Entre 1864 y 1866 se llevaron a cabo múltiples combates en toda la República: las principales regiones del país estaban en poder del ejército invasor. Sin embargo, en 1866 Francia retiró el apoyo a Maximiliano, por lo que los republicanos recuperaron Puebla y la capital, obligando a Maximiliano a trasladar su gobierno a la ciudad de Querétaro en 1867. Las principales ciudades fueron recuperadas por los liberales y el 6 de marzo de ese año, el General Mariano Escobedo sitió a la ciudad de Querétaro. El 27 de abril, el ejército imperialista rompió el cerco y el General Miramón, al mando de las tropas imperialistas, escapó por el Cerro El Cimatorio. Maximiliano trasladó entonces su cuartel general del Convento de la Cruz al Cerro de las Campanas. El 15 de mayo de 1867, después de 71 días de sitio, los imperialistas fueron derrotados, Maximiliano se rindió ante el General Escobedo entregando su espada y fue fusilado junto con los Generales Miguel Miramón y Tomás Mejía, en el Cerro de las Campanas el 19 de junio de 1867, finalizando el periodo conocido como el Segundo Imperio Mexicano.

The French Intervention
In 1861, the French invaded Mexico, citing as a reason the suspension of foreign debt decreed by President Benito Juárez.Our country was divided into two ideological currents: Liberal and Conservative.After the defeat on May 5, 1862 in Puebla, the French withdrew and reorganized in Orizaba, moving again in 1863 to Puebla and Mexico.In 1863, now with Maximilian of Hapsburg as the head of the Second Mexican Empire, Mexico had two governments: that of President Juárez which was constitutionally supported, and that of Maximilian, a product of the French invasion.Between 1864 and 1866 they were many battles throughout the Republic: the most important regions of the country were in the hands of the invading army.However, in 1866, France withdrew its support for Maximilian, so the Republicans regained Puebla and the capital, forcing Maximilian to move his government to the city of Querétaro in 1867.Major cities were recovered by the Liberals and on March 6 of that year, General Mariano Escobedo besieged the city of Querétaro.On April 27, the Imperialist army broke out of the siege and General Miramón, commanding the Imperialist troops, escaped by way of Cerro El Cimatorio. Maximiliano then moved his headquarters to the Convent of the Holy Cross at Cerro de las Campanas.On May 15, 1867, after 71 days of siege, the Imperialists were defeated. Maximilian surrendered to General Escobedo, handing over his sword and was then executed by a firing squad together with General Miguel Miramón and Tomas Mejia, in the Cerro de las Campanas on June 19, 1867, ending the period known as the Second Mexican Empire.
