The Designs of Duty exhibit, developed and hosted by Booth Library at Eastern Illinois University in Spring 2018, features the stories behind the tattoos of seven individuals of America's armed forces.
The Shelbyville newspaper interviewed one of the veterans, Shane Wright, about the exhibit. That story was picked up by the Effingham Daily News, then in turn by the AP, and eventually shared in a large number of national media, including: New York Times U.S. News and World Report San Francisco Chronicle ABC News Ledger Enquirer, Columbus GA Belleville News-Democrat, IL San Antonio Express News Houston Chronicle Wichita Eagle Minneapolis Star Tribune Bellingham Herald, WA Herald, Gulfport, MS KSL.com, Salt Lake City, UT WGIL, Galesburg, IL Telegraph, Macon GA Midland Daily News, MI Quincy Herald Whig, IL Miami Herald Olympian, WA Modesto Bee, CA LexGo.com, KY Merced Sun Star, CA NewsTalk 990, PA Centre Daily Times, State College, PA Brown County Democrat, IN LMT online, Laredo TX New Haven Register, NH Plainview Daily Herald, TX Beaumont Enterprise, TX Midland Reporter Telegram, TX Idaho Statesman Tri-City Herald, Kennewick, WA Middletown Press, CT Quad City Times News Times, Danbury, CT Connecticut Post, CT AM1070, Houston TX X95 Radio, Centralia IL Townhall.com Huron Daily Tribune, MI WBT Radio, NC Westport News, CT Times Union, Albany NY Fairfield Citizen, CT AM970, New York, NY Greenwich Time, CT The Hour, Southwest CT News Observer, NC The State, Columbia SC East Oregonian, OR Bradenton, FLA, Herald News Tribune, Tacoma WA Tribune, San Luis Obispo, CA Las Vegas Sun, NV WTOP, Washington DC Peoria Journal Star, IL Pekin Daily Times, IL Beloit, WI newspaper Military.com Stars and Stripes Chicago Daily Herald, IL Kansas City Star, KS Sacramento Bee, CA KTAR, AZ WRAL, Raleigh, NC Daily Advance, NC Seattle Times, WA Washington Times Federal News Radio Fresno Bee, CA
