Sonja St. John sits in her Neenah, Wis., home on Monday, May 8, 2017, next to a window with a military service flag. The flag honors her brother, Jon St. John, who died in Iraq on Jan. 27, 2017, while serving in the Army. He was 25. Sonja, his only sibling, has struggled mightily since his death but has found solace in her career, making and restoring violins. She also recently played violin on a song for her brother. It was written from her journal entries with the help of a nonprofit arts project for veterans called Warrior Songs. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
