Sujiro Seam, Consul General of France in Houston, discusses the relationship between the French and the American people, dating from the American Revolution to present day, during the induction ceremony of the Texas Merci Boxcar exhibit at the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, Feb. 23, 2014. The boxcar was one of 49 given to the U.S. in 1949 - one for each state and the then Hawaiian territory. The "Gratitude Train" or Merci boxcars were given by the people of France as a gift to the American people as a gesture of thanks for relief supplies sent following World War II and the sacrifices made by American service members on French soil during World Wars I and II.
