"It's commonly thought that Cinco de Mayo ("The fifth of May" in Spanish) is Mexico's Independence Day, but the day actually commemorates the Battle of Puebla. On May 5, 1861, Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza conquered the French occupation forces near the city of Puebla. It's this victory that's celebrated every May 5 throughout Mexico and the U.S, while Mexico's Independence Day is celebrated September 16."

well thats sorta of correct, only that BOTH dates are for independence...now cinco de mayo is just the celebration of that battle, but it is what led to mexicans do fight for thier independence from french occupation....16 septiembre is also independence day but from spain like from 1810 or something

...or is that really the Alamo?

oooooooooooooo...seis de Mayo es mal grande.....

Big shindig at a nearby park here --- super packed and lots of cool cars running around the neighborhood... it was really HOT here today - I want SPRING back!!!
