Cinco de Mayo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cinco de Mayo ("The Fifth of May" in Spanish) is a national, but not federal, holiday in Mexico which is also widely celebrated in the United States. It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin over the French occupational forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. I'm not of Mexican heritage, but I have friends that are. So happy Cinco de Mayo Day to everyone that celebrates it! Jenni

Amber,
Was this the Green River trip in Utah? Or somewhere else? Do you feel comfortable about talking about what happened in your situation?
