Today, we celebrate the rich culture and heritage of Mexico. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. In the US, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican American culture. It's a time to honor our shared history, traditions, and contributions. Let's come together to celebrate diversity! #CincoDeMayo #Unity
