Mexican pride ... U.S. thanks

In the wake of hurricane Katrina, Mexican Marines have deployed in the U.S. One of the most famous units, Los Anfibios A 411, based in Tampico, has special training and equipment for flood rescue (so frequently called for in the Mexican Gulf States). From around the Republic, convoys of Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors have headed north and east. Rolling through Texas, they were cheered by Americans waving Mexican flags. It is estimated that over 150 tons of food, clothing, and medicine have been delivered, along with 400 portable toilets, two mobile surgical units, two portable kitchens (feeding 3,700 people a day), one hospital ship, and even a water potable plant. From all Americans (in the U.S. and out) thank you President Fox, thanks to Carmen Segura Rangel, coordinadora general de la Secretaria de Governacion, and most of all, thanks to the Mexican military.
