The image is of our other home in Mexico where we have celebrated Cinco de Mayo only once. Although it is a national holiday, we in the USA put more emphasis on it than our Mexican friends. It celebrates the battle of Puebla.
During the French-Mexican War, a poorly supplied and outnumbered Mexican army under General Ignacio Zaragoza defeats a French army attempting to capture Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. Victory at the Battle of Puebla represented a great moral victory for the Mexican government, symbolizing the country's ability to defend its sovereignty against threat by a powerful foreign nation.
Sending light to this country and its new battle with a foreign entity, the flu.
