This past Memorial Day weekend, the Nacogdoches Hero Foundation said goodbye to a local hero and friend, James Lester “Jim” Peacock.
Jim served honorably in the United States Army from 1989 to 1992, including active combat service during Operation Just Cause in Panama. He left the Army with the rank of Sergeant (E-5). His body carried the effects of that service for a lifetime, and on several occasions, the NHF was honored to help Jim during his declining health.
Board members, Action Committee volunteers, SFA football players, LoneStar Moving Company, and many others stepped in to assist Jim in different ways. What started as helping a veteran became a genuine friendship. That is the heart behind what we do—we work with real people, build real relationships, and follow through for our heroes until the very end.
The loss of a veteran impacts all who have served. Jim was proud of his service, proud of his country, and proud of the life he built afterward, earning his history degree from The University of Texas following his military career.
Please keep Jim’s family, friends, and fellow veterans in your thoughts and prayers. We are grateful for his service and honored to have known him.
Rest easy, Jim. 🇺🇸

There's a family in Nacogdoches County who lost everything when their hero didn't come home. A table sponsorship won't bring them back but it tells that family that this community hasn't forgotten them. That seat matters ⭐
The Nacogdoches Hero Foundation's 4th Annual Hero Banquet is coming and table sponsorships are limited.
This isn't just a dinner. It's a room full of people who refuse to let sacrifice go unrecognized. Business owners, community leaders, neighbors, and friends all gathered in one place to say we see you, we honor you, and we've got your family.
When your business takes a table, you're not just getting a seat in the room. You're becoming part of something that outlasts the event. You're standing publicly beside the veterans, first responders, and families who have given so much to protect this county.
If your business believes in this community, this is how you show it.
📌 Table sponsorships are available now at nachero.org
⚠️ Spots are LIMITED, don't wait until they're gone.
Reach out today and let's get you at the table.
