WELCOME TO DANIEL D. FERNANDEZ

NO ONE DOES MORE FOR VETERANS
Welcome to Daniel D. Fernandez, Veterans of Foreign Wars, (VFW) Post 9676 Website.  Our Post is named after a local Los Lunas, New Mexico hometown hero and Fallen Vietnam Veteran,  Daniel D. Fernandez.   He was posthumously awarded The Congressional Medal of Honor for heroically sacrificing his life in 1966 during the Republic of Vietnam conflict.  We are a VFW Post of around 100 members who are yesterday's defenders of freedom and today's Community Servants.  We want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks and ask them to become part of our elite group.  Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it was in World War II, Vietnam, Korea, Persian Gulf, Kosovo, the Global War on Terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns.  Your courage and sacrifice has made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.  Welcome to VFW Post 9676.  Use this Website to learn how we are giving back to our community through Volunteerism and Community Service.

Sponsor - Romero Funeral Home - Belen NM

Our Family Serving Your Family Since 1936 Dignified Funeral Service for all regardless of Financial condition.

Who Do You Turn to In a Time of Need? Family. Living in New Mexico is a unique experience, rooted in strong family values and traditions that tie us together as a community. It is this sense of family and community that people think of when they turn to Romero Funeral Home for help during one of the most difficult times of life…the loss of a loved one. Because death is such a deeply personal issue, you can feel comfortable about choosing Romero Funeral Home in Belen, New Mexico.

Three generations of the Romero family, spanning over 80 years, have carried on a tradition of providing personal care and attention, for not only the deceased, but for those left behind. Today, just as it was in 1936, our goal is to make the funeral arranging process as easy for you and your family as possible. Options are always presented with sensitivity and respect for your personal wishes, religious preference, and financial considerations.
