“When you arrive in the war zone, that uniform stands for destruction and chaos and death and so to come back and take that symbol,

that piece, to destroy it, to create something new out of it and make a positive thing from that uniform, it’s got that feeling that you’re moving on from that and stepping onto a new path.”
