The month of September is officially designated as Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States. “Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America” as stated by the Library of Congress.

 

The 2010 national theme for Hispanic Heritage Month “Heritage, Diversity, Integrity and Honor: The Renewed Hope of America” ties in with the United States Marine Corps (USMC) launch of a new multimedia campaign entitled “Family Values.”

This unique campaign celebrates the strong positive ideals shared by Hispanic Americans and the Marine Corps by featuring the personal testimonials of Latino men and women currently serving. “Family Values” will run nationally online from September 15 through October 15 and will also feature print and radio PSA creative extensions.

“Family Values” offers the public a window into the personal lives of Hispanic Marines and demonstrates the ways in which the fundamental values of Hispanic Americans and the Marine Corps are one. Hispanic Marines of various ages and ranks are featured within the campaign and each story shared is an authentic celebration of both worlds.
