All-State Recognition - A major highlight of the weekend was Commander Chet Pino accepting VFW Post 9676 All-State award! He was presented with the distinguished White Cap, which signifies that Post 9676 members went above and beyond to meet the rigorous All-State requirements.
Earning All-State honors in New Mexico is a massive accomplishment that requires teamwork from the entire Post. To qualify, a Post must meet strict criteria, including:
- Achieving at least 100% in membership growth.
- Sponsoring local students for the Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen scholarship programs.
- Purchasing and distributing Buddy Poppies.
