Our logo is a symbol of independence, preparedness, resilience, and the power of a committed few.
- The 13 stars
- The 13 stars surrounding the emblem represent the 13 original American colonies—a reminder of the people who came together in 1776 to create something new and independent.
- 17 & 76
- The numbers 17 and 76 represent 1776, the year that became a defining moment in American history and a symbol of independence, self-determination, and the willingness to stand prepared for an uncertain future.
- The III
- At the center is the bold "III", representing 3%—a reference to the popular historical tradition that only a small percentage of the colonial population actively fought during the American Revolution. The exact "3%" figure is debated by historians, but within our group it represents an important principle: meaningful change and resilience do not always require the majority—commitment, preparation, knowledge, and action matter.
Just as previous generations faced a world without the technologies and infrastructure we depend on today, we believe modern communities should understand how to remain capable when those systems are unavailable.
Our mission is not to live in fear of disruption, but to develop the skills, technology, knowledge, and preparedness necessary to remain productive and resilient when circumstances change.
13 Stars. 1776. III. — Preparedness begins long before it is needed.
