Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Hello All!


Happy Cinco de Mayo!


The holiday commemorates a battle between Mexico and the French on 5 May 1862. The outnumbered and outgunned Mexican army was victorious over French forces at the Battle of Puebla. This event has gotten so large that it has exceeded the borders of Mexico and is now celebrated across much of the Southwestern United States.


How many people can name the date that the Alamo fell? I'm just curious. To the right is a picture depicting the famous battle.


Nonetheless, happy celebrations to all!
