Parwan Province, Afghanistan – From pursuing insurgents over the daunting mountain peaks of Afghanistan to rescuing a local villager’s car over a 130-foot bank, the Soldiers of 2nd Platoon, Troop A, 1st Squadron, 172nd Cavalry Regiment, have proven their dedication to the people of Afghanistan and fortified a steadfast bond with the people of Parwan Province.
