There are two circles. The outer circle represents the barrier we put in place preventing those we love from entering.  The second is the inner circle that we trap ourselves in.  The sword, the most basic of a warrior's instruments, represents our military career.  The arrow symbolizes the skills and experience we have gained through our service.  The forging hammer illustrates the change necessary to ensure we become the best version of ourselves, building a better now to set conditions for your best future.  S-3 stands for Steel Sharpens Steel, Veterans helping Veterans.  S-3 Operations is commonly known in the military as the cell that analyzes, synchronizes and executes past, present, and future operations.  Mirroring this concept, our organization's purpose is to help veterans embrace their best selves!
