A patrol races to make peace with Afghan village leaders, battling time to save a snake-bitten Marine An Army veteran whose touch can hold off death attempts to find his grip. On the streets of Washington, D.C. a former sailor is haunted by the ghost of a stalker who once threatened her career A proud Air Force brat faces racism on an overseas playground The crew of an Army cargo plane delivers a brand new Jeep to special forces-in the middle of a jungle firefight
