Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum will attend Donald Trump's event to support American veterans Thursday night.

"I'm delighted to join with Donald Trump in an effort to salute veterans," the former Arkansas governor told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday. "I didn't have anything going on at 8:00 tonight. I'll be done, so I figured, 'Why not? Let's show the veterans our support.'"

A Santorum campaign aide told "The Daily Caller" that Santorum would also attend the event.

After the #GOPDebate I'll join @realDonaldTrump in Des Moines to support our vets who've been abandoned by @BarackObama. Hope you join us!
