Two New Royal Court Members at Kilgore College

KILGORE – Kilgore College will have honorary homecoming king and queen Saturday. The honor goes to a pair of military service dogs. On the homecoming court nomination list were Duke and Lulu. They are service dogs who aid two military veteran students on campus. They received enough votes to make the final homecoming court ballot. Since it’s against homecoming bylaws for the king and queen to have four legs, the college decided to name Duke and LuLu as “honorary” homecoming king and queen as a tribute to military veterans. The college said this would be a great way for the school, not only to promote veterans and their service, but also a way to educate people about the trained animals that help veterans navigate civilian life.
