However, permission had to be obtained from the Corps itself to modify the Eagle, Globe and Anchor logo. It was approved.
Under the Cultural Resources (Environmental) program for the base, Route 66 is a National Historic Highway registered as a National Landmark managed by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is up to each state how best to manage those parts of Route 66 within their borders.
The 1.7 miles of 66 going through the base fall under that. The base has officially designated Joseph L. Boll Avenue as a segment of Route 66. It pays homage to to 66's contributions to the war efforts. Historic Route 66 signs have been placed along the road and there are Route 66 stencils on the road similar to those you see in Barstow and other towns.
And the final goal was to build the 3D Eagle, Globe and Anchor monument at the corner of Route 66 and Wake Avenue.
Additionally two Marquees with information kiosks will be placed at the front and back gates for guests and visitors (some of whom will not be able to get access to the base) to read and view details of the history of how Route 66 supported the installation's war efforts.
The front gate will also house a bronze plaque denoting additional historical details.
