We meet Ajmal Faqiri and Janis Shinwari, who worked as interpreters for US troops in Afghanistan, and we speak with the former American soldier who is helping them start new lives in America. Plus, how to walk on ice and other essential winter survival tips for newly-arrived refugees in the States. Also, a Cambodian immigrant finds peace in the mountains of New England. An American journalist on a seven-year trek meets a shepherd who is bidding farewell to an ancient ruin about to be flooded by a dam. And, a composer is inspired by his own fear of flight to write music to help other nervous flyers relax. (Photo: Two men walking under the sun in eastern Turkey.
