Cinco De Mayo


Happy Cinco de Mayo! It is celebrated nationwide in the US and regionally in Mexico. Contrary to the popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day (Sept 16). On May 5, 1862, the Mexican army was victorious over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla. So today, we celebrate Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of their freedom and democracy.
