On Nightline Thursday night, we looked at U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Here are the three stories:

1) Tip of the Spear

?Soldiers based in a remote part of Afghanistan risk it all to build a road: ?

? 2) Angels in Hell

?U.S. Army medics respond to all emergency cases, sometimes amidst enemy gunfire.?

?

?3) What’s In a Name?

?Several U.S. outposts dotting Afghanistan are named after soldiers killed there.?

? Thanks for watching!
