A Night for Our Veterans 2026

---

Come out for a great night in Simonton, Texas as we join together to raise money for our Special Operators, Gold Stars, and First Responders. Listen to inspiring guest speakers that remind us of the sacrifices our veterans make, and why we are so fortunate to live in America.

We’re honored to welcome Commander (Ret.) Jarrod “J.D.” Donaldson as our guest speaker for “A Night for our Veterans” at Anthonie’s Market Grill this November.

A 1998 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, JD served more than 24 years in the United States Navy, including nine years with Naval Special Warfare and multiple overseas deployments. He went on to serve in leadership roles including Commanding Officer of SEAL Team EIGHT and Naval Special Warfare Development Group’s Technical Squadron. Since retiring from the Navy in 2022, JD has continued to support the veteran community while working in the training and tactical industry.

We look forward to hearing his story, honoring those who have served, and gathering together for a meaningful evening dedicated to our veterans.

A 5 star dinner will be provided by Chef Anthonie Dekker and his team at Anthonie's Market Grill. A beautiful and one of a kind dining experience, located in the heart of Simonton, Texas. Live Music will be provided and of course we will have a live and silent auction and a raffle up for grabs! Help us fulfill our mission to serve America's Heroes!
