Pete Garvin, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), and NETC Force Master Chief Matt Harris reflect on National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is observed from Sept. 15 – Oct. 15 of each year. The observance is celebrated during this time frame due to many significant events for various Hispanic communities which fall within the observance period. Hispanics have had a profound and positive influence on our country through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work and service. They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect the multi-ethnic and multicultural customs of their community. The theme for this year is “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation.” This video highlights Navy Counselor 1st Class Luz Franquez. (U.S. Navy video by Wade H. Buffington)
