Picture of the Day

The sign controversy in Duluth makes the front page(prominent) of the NYTimes website. Short version, Scott Cameron, wounded Vietnam vet(left), maintains this sign in a storefront window next to a recruiting station. It's the campaign office for a Minnesota gubernatorial candidate.

Cameron says, "that his purpose is not to prevent new recruits from signing up for the Army, but to honor those who made sacrifices. Still, Mr. Cameron also says, "Before they join the military, people better know what they're getting into.""

Needless to say, the recruiters are none too happy. Check out their quote.

"It's disheartening," Staff Sgt. Gary J. Capan, the station's commander, said. "Everyone knows that people are dying in Iraq, but to walk past this on the way to work every day is too much."
