Sarah asked, jokingly, what was Mexico doing to help the US with the hurricane relief operations. I wasn’t sure how much they could help so I am glad to see Mexico and other international governments are helping those who were affected by Katrina. A good friend of mine sent me an article from the AP which mentioned Mexico’s relief contribution.

A Mexican army convoy crossed into the United States on Thursday to bring aid to hurricane victims, becoming the first Mexican military unit to operate on U.S. soil since 1846.

The 45-vehicle convoy was carrying water treatment plants and mobile kitchens to San Antonio, where the soldiers apparently planned to feed and provide other help for evacuees from the New Orleans area.
