Bill Stenberg says he was just "standing on the corner with a friend, the way guys do" when he decided to enlist in the military.

He was deployed to Korea to fight in a war he feels many have forgotten. Stenberg's story is part of After the Wars, a multimedia documentary project designed to preserve and share the stories of American war veterans from World War II to today.
