Wondering why the American flag in front of the law school is at half-staff? Here’s why:

Gov. Mitch Daniels is asking that flags in Indiana be flown at half-staff until dusk Friday to honor the four Indiana National Guard soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan Saturday.

The men were members of Combined Joint Task Force Phoenix, 76th Infantry Brigade. They died when their vehicle hit a landmine about 50 kilometers south of Kabul, Afghanistan.
