Standing near a World War II memorial in downtown Indianapolis, Sophia Egold knows the difference that veterans have made in her life and the life of the United States.

Sophia drew the name of Frank Barbour, a Boston native who joined the Army Air Corps at the beginning of the war and became a decorated B-17 pilot by its end.
