Arrival Ceremony for Mexican President Vicente Fox
On September 5, 2001, the White House South Lawn was the site of the arrival ceremony for the state visit of President Vicente Fox of Mexico. Brightly colored flags, uniformed military personnel in tight formations, and music from the U. S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps provided a dazzling display against the south front of the White House.
