Today many celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not Mexican Independence Day.
In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is not a major national holiday because it commemorates a single regional military battle—the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862—rather than Independence Day, which is September 16.

Today, Cinco de Mayo is largely a celebration of Mexican culture, featuring mariachi music, dancing, and parades, particularly in American cities with large Mexican-American populations.

The August 4th Primary Election is 3 1/2 months away.
