As a new generation of veterans returns from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they take their place alongside veterans of other American wars. We continue our series, “After the Wars” - bringing stories of some of those veterans, from World War II to today. Korean War veteran Bill Stenberg says he was just “standing on the corner with a friend” when he decided to enlist in the military. He was deployed to Korea, where he fought on the front lines and was wounded. 

Listen to his story and others in the series.
