Shout Out Louds

“Some Americans think of Cinco De Mayo as a “Mexican Independence Day,” which is actually Sept. 16, when the reality is that Cinco De Mayo is in remembrance of the Mexican army backing down the French military on May 5, 1862. Cinco De Mayo is Spanish for the 5th of May and is not a national holiday in the United States.” [Epoch Times]
