Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
For those who do not know what Cinco de Mayo is here is a little bit of history. On May 5 1862 the Mexican army had an unlikely victory at the Battle of Puebla. It is celebrated in Puebla and in various parts of the United States. Although it is not celebrated nationwide in Mexico, it is celebrated nationwide as a holiday in the United States . But still it is not a main holiday in the United States. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated by Mexicans and hispanics as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day.
