From the Sergeant's Desk
We hope everyone is having a happy and safe summer.
July is a special month for the TPWD Buffalo Soldier Heritage and Outreach Program because the Texas Legislature proclaimed it Texas Buffalo Soldier Heritage Month to honor these men and the contributions they made to Texas.
Join 1st Sgt. Padilla and Lt. Dolifka as they travel to the Texas African American Museum in Tyler and Tyler State Park to celebrate Texas Buffalo Soldiers month. The Buffalo Soldiers team of Texas Parks and Wildlife will be setting up an exhibit in the Texas African American Museum in Tyler, TX. This is a traveling exhibit and will only be at the museum for a limited time. So make sure to stop by to meet 1st. Sgt. Padilla and Lt. Dolifka while enjoying all the exhibits of the museum. Come out and help us in celebration as we wrap up Texas Buffalo Soldiers Month at the Texas African American Museum on Friday and Tyler State Park on Saturday.
We hope to see you further down the trail....
Ready Forward! We Can.. We Will!

Upcoming Programs
 This month's volunteer spotlight features all stars Geary and Mary Gowins. They have volunteered with the TPWD Buffalo Soldier Heritage and Outreach Program for several years and traveled many miles across the State of Texas to State Parks, Historic Forts, and even the State Fair of Texas helping us tell the amazing stories of the Buffalo Soldiers, Native Americans, and all the other peoples who called Texas home. Their love of history and dedication to the Buffalo Soldiers program is immense. We could not do our job without their dedication and friendship. We are truly honored and blessed to have such amazing volunteers!
Thank you both for all you do! Geary and Mary, We Salute You!
