From September 15 to October 15 we celebrate the National Hispanic Heritage Month. This celebration started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was then lengthened to a 30 day period by President Ronald Reagan in 1998. It was finally passed as a law on August 17,1988. September 15 is a special day for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, because it is there Independence Day. Other countries also celebrate their independence days between September and October 15.
