The Warrior Bonfire Program exists for one reason: to look our Purple Heart recipients in the eye and say thank you. Not with words alone, but with fully funded outdoor retreat experiences that honor their sacrifice and remind them they are not forgotten.

Diamonds & Dog Tags is how we fund that mission. Now in its 9th year, this annual charity fundraiser brings together Mississippi's most generous community of veterans, supporters, and friends for an evening of celebration, remembrance, and purpose.

This year we are honored to welcome Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter as our featured guest. Kyle's story of courage, survival, and service is one of the most remarkable stories of his generation of American warriors, and his presence at DDT 2026 makes this a night you will not want to miss.

Join us on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at The ARC at St. Andrew's North Campus in Ridgeland, Mississippi. Doors open at 5:30 PM and the program concludes at 10:00 PM.

Your evening includes dinner stations, open bar, silent auction, whiskey pull, live performance by Lloyd "Hurricane" Munn & The Forecasters, and a flag retirement ceremony honoring those who served.

Dress for the occasion: Cocktail Attire | A Splash of Purple & Diamonds Encouraged

Tickets are $75 per person or $140 per couple. Purchase yours below and we will see you August 8.
