According to Wikipedia, Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that is celebrated in the U.S., as well as some other countries, and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla. It recognizes the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
Today, try writing a letter in Spanish. What if you don't speak or write Spanish? Well, give it a try anyway. At least try a few phrases, such as "¿Qué pasa?" That means something like "What's up?" "What's happening?" etc. Or maybe, "Hola mi amigo," which means, "Hello my friend."
