MUNCIE, Ind. - A painting of a Coast Guard patrol boat used during WWII to spot German u-boats off the east coast of the United States rests on a china cabinet in a Muncie home July 7, 2011. The homeowner, William D. Barber Sr., said he painted the image to help him cope during difficult times after he was severely injured when an explosion occurred in the engine room of the vessel while he was working in the space during the war.
