For Mexicans, a chorus of patriotism

At noon on September 16th Mexicans around the world burst into their national anthem in commemoration of its 150th anniversary. This day is also Mexico's Independence Day. This singing is a way to show their patriotism, pride of their culture, able to unite, and a way to push aside the worries about poverty and crime in their country to show the happiness of their identity. Some people went out and waved their flag in traffic to the enthusiastic beeps from other proud Hispanics. Mexico's president Vincente Fox stood at the balcony of Mexico City's central square to lead the shouts of "Viva Mexico."
