Since 2005, artist Matt Mitchell has been painting a series of portraits of men and women currently in the U.S. armed services or who have returned home. His work has become a project called "100 Faces of War." He says says this week's 10 year anniversary of the U.S. lead invasion into Iraq has him tallying up the the issues he hears about from them, as they sit in his studio in Amherst, Massachusetts.
