Service Stitched: A Denim Tribute

As my military journey came to an end, I wanted to create something tangible to honor my years of service. Using a denim jacket as my canvas, I deconstructed and reimagined it, attaching every patch I collected throughout my time in the Navy. Each patch tells a story of deployments, achievements, and unforgettable moments. This jacket isn’t just an everyday piece; it’s a symbol of remembrance, a wearable archive of my military experience. Every year, on significant milestones like the anniversary of my enlistment, I wear it as a tribute to the path I walked and the lessons I carry forward.
