Sept. 15th through October 15th is National Hispanic Heritage Month.  Did you know?  September 15 was chosen as the starting date for Hispanic Heritage Month because it is the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua; all declared independence in 1821. Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
