A funeral service was held for Reveille VIII in the Zone Plaza Thursday morning. Reveille VII was buried with her seven predecessors on the north end of Kyle Field, facing their personal score board so they can always watch their Aggies win.
A painting of Reveille VIII with a pair of senior boots was on display.
