Who is Eugene V. Debs
who is the man in this photo, it's Eugene V. Debs, who as leader of the
Socialist Party (and who was a co-founder of the IWW (Industrial
Workers of the World), spoke out against U.S. involvement (and any
country's involvement) in WW 1, and then was jailed for doing so. When
he ran for president in 1920 when jailed, he got about a million votes.
this commerates that.

*A Failure to Protect Our Troops NY TIMES June 14, 2007
The Bush administration and military leaders in Washington are always
claiming that they will do anything to support American troops fighting in
Iraq. That makes it all the more infuriating to learn that, for more than
two years, the Pentagon largely ignored urgent requests from field
commanders for better armor-protected vehicles that could have saved untold
lives and limbs.
Improvised explosive devices, or I.E.D.'s, can blast through the flat
underbelly of the military's standard Humvees, maiming and killing the
soldiers within. These devices, a low-tech response to America's
overwhelming military power, are now causing 70 percent to 80 percent of the
American combat deaths in Iraq.
More than two years ago, according to newly disclosed documents, Marine
commanders in Al Anbar Province, a center of the Sunni insurgency, submitted
an urgent request for more than 1,100 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected
Vehicles, or MRAPs, that have V-shaped bottoms able to deflect blasts from
below. For reasons yet to be satisfactorily explained, military officials
initially sat on the request and then ordered relatively few.
Some, second-guessing the judgment of the battlefield commanders, apparently
felt that Humvees with upgraded armor could do the job. Others may have been
reluctant to invest billions of dollars in vehicles that might have little
use after Iraq. Turf battles were probably also a factor, as a large-scale
purchase might threaten future weapons programs. But Iraq is the war that
Americans are fighting and dying in today.
Only now are Pentagon leaders, prodded by Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. and
other critics on Capitol Hill, rushing to ramp up production. Congress has
accelerated funding to buy more than 7,000 of the vehicles by early next
year, and the military services are seeking some 21,000 in all, at a cost
that could exceed $20 billion. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has declared
his determination to "produce as many of these vehicles and get them into
the field as fast as possible," though the precise number needed has yet to
be established.
Unfortunately, the MRAPs will remain vulnerable to the deadliest I.E.D.'s,
known as "explosively formed penetrators," which destroy vehicles from the
side. The military is looking for ways to add armor to the MRAPs and is
testing another new vehicle to counter that threat.
If the small companies that make these vehicles are not able to produce the
quantities needed quickly, President Bush and Secretary Gates ought to make
this a crash program and enlist major manufacturers.
There can be no excuse for failing to provide the best possible protection
for American troops in this disastrous war.

"Your Honor,years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
