Of the exhibit you are about to see is one we started putting together shortly after the president died. People here really invested in the Funeral Service because it happened here and the train came up here from houston to college station. They were proud of the fact that the first lady and president were buried here. A lot of that was incorporated into the exhibit. One of the first things you see is the lifesized statue of sully, president bushs service dog. At a ceremony a couple of months ago, we installed sully, and the reallife sully came to the ceremony. That dog is now at walter reed. The real iconic photo in the exhibit is of sully in front of president bushs casket. President bush got sully in june 2018 and he served for about six months until the president s death on november 30, 2018. So we have a picture of him as a puppy, and with president bush, and he did help president bush with everyday tasks and added quality to the last months of his life. The memorial exhibit itsel
