Myth Buster Monday!

Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day.  MYTH!  Mexican Independence day is September 16th.  What Cinco de Mayo actually celebrates is a victory by the Mexicans against the French that later colonized Mexico. This occurred on the 5th of May, 1862 in the battle of Puebla, when a group of Mexicans defeated the French army.
