A photo of siblings Jon and Sonja St. John sits in Sonja's Neenah, Wis., home on Monday, May 8, 2017. Jon St. John, a specialist in the Army, died decade ago in Iraq when the military vehicle he was in hit a roadside bomb. He was 25. The photo is Sonja's favorite of the two of them. It was taken after he brought her flowers at one of her violin recitals. "He was a good friend to have," she says. The photo includes the flag that had been draped over Jon's casket during his military funeral. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
