Happy Cinco de Mayo!<\/p>\n

Wondering what all the ‘fuss’ is about?<\/p>\n

Cinco de Mayo honors the Mexican army victory over a greatly outnumbered French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.\u00a0\u00a0 But it is not Mexico’s Independence day.\u00a0 That occurred over 50 years earlier and is celebrated on September 16.\u00a0 Americans have adopted the holiday and it is now a much greater celebration in the US than in Mexico.<\/p>\n
