In an address Wednesday to the US Congress, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani thanked "the people of the United States" for their service and sacrifice over a decade of war in Afghanistan.
"We owe a profound debt to the 2,315 servicemen and women killed and the more than 20,000 who have been wounded in service to your country and ours," Ghani said, after receiving a warm welcome from members of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
