National Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage Month (NHHM) commemorates the many achievements and cultures of Hispanic Americans. Celebrated from Sept. 15 – Oct. 15, it is the only Department of Defense special observance to span multiple months, coinciding with Independence Day celebrations for several Latin American countries. This year’s theme is “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” This theme emphasizes the Hispanic Americans who have sacrificed to create a better future for the Nation and all Americans.
2024 National Preparedness Month
September is National Preparedness Month. This annual recognition reminds everyone the importance for individuals, families, and communities to prepare for disasters and emergencies that can happen at any time. This year’s theme is Disaster Preparedness for Those with Special Needs. This September, the Marine Corps encourages all servicemembers and their families to participate in National Preparedness Month. The month-long campaign recruits participants to take action by making plans, practicing them, running drills, and building kits. It’s important to also remember and take into account those with special needs and how to best incorporate their needs into your emergency planning.
