WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) today released the following statement in recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, which is observed every year from September 15th to October 15th:

“Hispanic Heritage Month is an important time to reflect upon the significant contributions Latinos have made to our country’s culture and heritage. Hispanics are driving innovation and entrepreneurship in our communities, serving our nation in uniform to protect our way of life, and leading the world in academia and the arts. The hard work and continued achievements of the Latino community have made America and Michigan a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

“I am honored today to join Latinos in Michigan and across the country in recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrating the role Hispanics have played in shaping America’s culture, communities and economy.”
