Happy Cinco de Mayo to all of you out there!!! Hope you all find some way to celebrate! Eat a taco! Wear the colors of Mexico! Make some salsa! What am I doing to celebrate—probably nothing….but I salute our neighbors to the south and celebrate with them. If anyone wants more info on this particular day I will insert some info from Wikipedia!!!
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a voluntarily-observed holiday that commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[2][3] It is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla and in the United States.[4][5][6][7] While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.[8] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day,[9] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.[10]
