The Sun absolutely owned the story. Curt Hodges wrote a superb story, full of great quotes that flowed seamlessly. And, of course, my picture of Spc. Stephen Cunningham hugging his wife Rachel and wiping away a tear was a wonderful convergence of luck and readiness.
Nick Longworth, a staff photographer at The Indianapolis News back in the 1960s, once told a young reporter, "Don't ever get excited about a story you've written or a picture you took before it gets published because they'll always screw it up." Well, Nick, this time they got it right.
