This vet is wearing his pain. And holding his joy.
Mike’s tattoos reflect his nightmare.
The November day when 23 members of his combat unit died in Iraq’s bloodiest battle.
But that month now has new meaning for Mike. Because that’s when his daughter was born.
For many vets, body art is a way to express the horror they hold inside.
And that’s being honored in a Bay Area project called “War Ink. News.
Today is Veterans Day in America.
