MUNCIE, Ind. - William D. Barber, Sr. walks toward the back door in his home in Muncie to go outside for his Coast Guard promotion ceremony July 7, 2011. A Coast Guard officer promoted Barber to honorary motor machinist's mate first class, more than 69 years after he was honorably discharged from the service following an injury on a Coast Guard patrol boat during World War II.
