Navy Celebrates Hispanic Heritage

“The Navy is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. This year’s theme is “Hispanic Americans: Our rich cultures contributing to America’s future” and will feature celebrations throughout the fleet.

The tradition of observing Hispanic Heritage began Sept. 17, 1968, when President Lyndon B. Johnson designated a week in mid-September as National Hispanic Heritage Week. Twenty years later in 1988, President Ronald Reagan extended that week to a month-long observance.”
