This is today's Indianapolis Star; click on the image for a bigger view -- and see the incredible lede photo up close. The Star has been covering an especially sad story for weeks: 3,400 Indiana National Guard troops leaving for training and, eventually, for Iraq. They won't return home for a year. Too many may die.That main photo, shot by the Star's Danese Kenon, shows Helen Montgomery, 57, hugging her daughter, Master Sgt. Karolyn Peeler, at Wednesday’s send-off at Indianapolis' RCA Dome. Amazing photo. Terrific headline. The accompanying videos will break your heart.
