That's right, Mexico. In May of 1942, the United States of Mexico declared war on the Axis alliance. They even saw some combat: a Mexican fighter squad fought valiantly in the South Pacific in 1945. But their importance to the Allied effort was much greater than a handful of pilots and airplanes.

EL PASO — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday the state is accepting Mexico’s
offer to help get Texas back on its feet in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
“Yes - I have and we are,” said Abbott in Austin when asked by journalists whether he
would accept assistance from Mexico. “We had a list of aid and assistance that they
have offered to provide that we are accepting.”
Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, the consul general in Austin, applauded the governor’s
decision. He said assistance of vehicles, boats and food will start arriving in
Texas within days.

The Mexican navy did engage in anti-submarine work in the Gulf of Mexico, although they were generally poorly equipped.
That is wonderful. There are still a few good people in California but most are not good people. I hope they secede there bodies from our land in California. We will never surrender our land.
