The ”winged” design of this piece, evocative of both wind and water, summons up thoughts of a gentle descent ground- ward. The white color represents loyalty and honesty as well as bravery in the face of every challenge. Taken as a whole, the piece may be interpreted as two expert skiers crouched and ready to glide down a sheer mountain slope. The physical closeness of the two objects embody the trust and friendship of Special Forces comrades, while their aerodynamic lines exemplify Special Forces’ qualities of speed, secrecy, bravery, and subterfuge. The dynamic forward-turning design of the piece symbolize winning strategies in warfare such as the surprise strike, ambush, disruption, and counterinsurgency.
