Citadel cadets send long time cowboys fan/janitor to game

Dec 11, 2019, 8:02 AM

I remember this man when I was a cadet. He was always hard working janitor and always sporting his Dallas Cowboys gear. I'm pretty sure we bought him that cowboys hat when I was there. Anyways he cannot watch the Cowboys games at his home - he watches them on the Citadel campus wherever he can find a television. Cadets started a fundraiser to buy him a jersey, but ended up getting enough money to send him on a fully booked trip to see the Cowboys play on December 29th.

Longtime Citadel janitor Dwight Holmes means a ton to the cadets in Echo & Hotel companies. Today, they surprised him to let him know exactly how much he means to them. Overwhelming, to say the least. A lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, will now fulfill a lifelong dream. His reaction pic.twitter.com/HaUugbRWmL

The Citadel would have been my second choice for my son had he not been a Tiger. Good folks down there!

Let's hope the Cowboy organization picks up on this story and does something special for him when he goes there.
