MEXICO CITY —
The Nov. 20 parade to commemorate the start of the 1910-21 Mexican Revolution will honor nations that helped the country after the Sept. 19 earthquake.
The parade traditionally focuses on sports, and 10,000 athletes are expected to take part this year, Gerardo Velazquez, a government sports official, said.
Marchers will carry a sign for each of the 156 countries that sent aid after the earthquake, Velazquez said.
