    An outdoor ceremonial event featuring children in traditional cultural costumes on a red carpet, flanked by U.S. Marines in dress uniforms and a crowd of formally dressed attendees. Two girls are embracing in the foreground — one wearing an elaborate embroidered Mexican folkloric dress and one in a white lace dress holding a sombrero — suggesting a binational or cultural exchange ceremony. Both American and Mexican flags are visible, indicating a U.S.-Mexico diplomatic or commemorative event.

    Dignitaries from Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas gathered on the Lincoln-Juarez International Bridge for the International Bridge Ceremony Feb. 20, 2016. The ceremony celebrates the bond between the United States and Mexico. The staple of the ceremony, the "abrazo" or embrace, is led by two children representing Mexico and two children representing the United States, affectionately know as the "abrazo children". Dignitaries including religious, political, and military officials follow suit by embracing and exchanging flags. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
