Did you know that September 15 marks the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries – Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua and it also marks the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Mexico then declared their independence the next day on September 16, also known as Diez y Seis de Septiembre .
