    Spc. Arriane Jimenez and the other "Q-West dancers" perform traditional Hispanic dances, such as the bachata, merenge and salsa, during a Hispanic Heritage Month observance at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Center at Q-West, Sept. 27, 2008. The Hispanic Heritage Month, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, raises awareness of the contributions made by Soldiers of Hispanic origins. September 15 marks the anniversaries of the independence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. September 16 is Mexico's Independence and Chile's is Sept. 18. This year's theme was "Getting involved: Our Families, Our Community and Our Nation."
