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 124 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.  NO ONE DOES MORE FOR VETEANS

Sponsor - Seasons of Smiles Dental

We know that going to the dentist isn’t high up on the list of favorite places for most people. We at Seasons of Smiles Dental try our hardest to make every dental visit relaxing, light-hearted and as enjoyable as possible.

We provide treatment for your entire family starting from the first tooth. Introducing children to the dental office at an early age has shown to be very beneficial. Our goal, with every patient, especially with young children, is NEVER to give them a reason not to like us.

We want you to be as comfortable as possible, and that is our primary concern. We have options, including nitrous oxide, to help ease anxiety allowing for a more pleasant visit.

We support Veterans and their families, especially Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Please click on the link below to visit our Website and learn more the Dental Services we offer.
