CANDLELIGHT TRIAD MISSION!

Inspired by many of your Triad Global Assault submissions, the CANDLELIGHT TRIAD MISSION has ignited! Argentinian Echelon lit up this triad:

Create the Triad symbol using candlelight or any form of light in high-profile locations in your area! The bigger, the better. Get creative!

Submit your candlelight triad photos to the Triad Global Assault page, tagging photos as ‘candlelight’.

Remember: ALWAYS abide by local laws and Candles Safety Rules.
