A group of Kansas National Guard members on a health-related mission were sidetracked by distressed girl about to leap off a highway bridge very likely to her death.

It was raining heavily, and the group were heading to Lawrence, Kansas, on May 25 to join the 2nd Combined Arms Battalion, 137th Infantry Regiment on a food-distribution mission bringing 4 million meals to needy families.
