The 5th of May, 1862… A rag-tag group of about 5000 Mestizo and Zapotec Indians defeated almost twice as many superior French forces in the Battle of Puebla. This day symbolizes freedom, liberation and unity for our brothers to the South. Who knows, if young Mexico doesn’t stand up to Napoleon III and eventually win their freedom, then maybe our own civil war goes a different way and our nation is ripped apart? (As the French were committed to our destruction as well) Maybe we should take a moment today and celebrate our own freedom along with them— for gratitude is a powerful force.
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
