The Texas A&M Forest Service is being recognized for 100 years of service with an exhibit at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas. The exhibit demonstrates the progression of fire suppression tools and tactics from the early days when fire patrols were conducted on horseback to the current techniques employed today.

Included in the exhibit is a kiosk that presents the Wildland Fire Leadership Values and Principles. 

Also on display, is the Paul Gleason Lead by Example Award that was presented to TFS in 2006.
