“24 veterans ... 100 tattoos ... 1,000 stories.”
With nearly 2 million veterans in California and a generation of veterans returning home across the nation as 12 years of faraway combat winds down, the Contra Costa County Library in California is launching “War Ink,” an online exhibit of Iraq and Afghanistan veteran memorial tattoo art.
