  • During Hispanic Heritage month, it is customary to recognize those individuals that have contributed to American Society and Culture. Today, we will begin by honoring the 1.2 million Hispanics serving in the U.S. armed forces. Throughout the years, many soldiers have made astounding contributions and have also sacrificed their lives for our freedom. In 1976 Army soldier, Richard Edward Cavazos became the first Hispanic general and then in 1982 he became the first Hispanic Four-Star General. He was also awarded two Distinguished Service Crosses, a Silver Star, two Legion of Merit awards, five Bronze Stars with valor, and a Purple Heart amongst others. During his career, he served his country and fought with extraordinary heroism during the Korean and Vietnam wars. He is the first of many that have followed in his footsteps. Join us tonight for some Mighty Lope Football and for Military Appreciation Night. Stay tuned for more facts next week brought to you by Latino Student Alliance!

  • Now it is time for some more Hispanic Heritage Facts: Hispanic Heritage is composed of many countries whose official language is Spanish. The Spanish language is the official language in 21 countries across Europe, Africa, Central, South and North America, making it a very important global language. For many people in these places, it is the only way to communicate and all official correspondence and documents are in Spanish. Spanish is also used in schools to teach the curricula. Not only is it the main language for these 21 sovereign states, it also serves as a key language in a handful of dependent territories. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States. In fact, 73.3% of Hispanics 5 and older speak Spanish at home. Today, find someone, smile at them and say “Hola”. Repeat after me “Hola” which means hello. Stay tuned for more facts tomorrow brought to you by Latino Student Alliance!
