Cinco de Mayo

Today May 5th is celebrated as Cinco de Mayo - but moreso in the U.S.A. than in Mexico. It commemorates the defeat of the French Army by the Mexican militia at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Emperor Napoleon III  of France wanted a foothold in Mexico in order to support the Confederate cause in the war between the states. If the French had succeeded it could have made a difference in the outcome of our Civil War.
BTW, lest I forget, today is also my wife's birthday. So we will don our sombreros and seek out a Mariachi band. Please hold the salt on the margaritas. Ole.
