A craftsman presses a restored dalle de verre glass block into an aluminum cassette during reinstallation of the Cadet Chapel's stained-glass panels, Jan. 27, 2026, as the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center leads restoration of the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel in Colorado Springs, Colo. Crews are returning all 24,192 glass pieces across 2,240 cassettes to their original positions, part of the milestone-by-milestone progress bringing the Chapel back to its original design.
