Yea whats it's name, Cinco Da Mio (yea bg sp soewhere). well celebrate the holiday where mexico is still a country. ANd also the fact that we may not be a country if the french (they invaded right?) won.


Well celebrate it, cause it's something big that happened in north america.

1: OFN
2: Cinco de Mayo
3: French forces defeated at the battle of Pueblo. Which is not suprising, they're French.

The actual Mexican date of independence is September 16, 1810. That's the big holday.

It was actually 4k mexican soldiers against 4k french and some # of "traitor mexicans". Boiled down: the mexicans beat down over twice the numbers they had.
