The U.S. Marine Corps Seal Carved in Glass by Sans Soucie

Sans Soucie Art Glass Studios was recently selected to carve the United States Marine Corps seal, for installation inside the Officers Club at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California.

The 36″ diameter seal is deep carved on the front side of a 1/2″ thick clear, tempered glass panel.  The panel is installed as a wall art piece, using stand-off posts and is spot lit from the ceiling.

The panel was delivered and installed by Sans Soucie glaziers in July 2009 and is now proudly on display inside the officers club.

The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), also known as 29 Palms, Twentynine Stumps or simply the “Stumps”, is the largest U.S. Marine Corps base in the country.  Its located adjacent to the city of Twentynine Palms in southern San Bernardino County, California.  Twentynine Palms has a reputation within the Marine Corps for its relative desolation and isolation, due to the harsh desert climate and the remote nature of the base.  As of the year 2000 census, the base had a total population of 8,413.  The base was first established in 1949.
