Soldiers from the 2nd Engineer Battalion fire from fighting positions during a re-enactment of the Burning of the Colors ceremony Nov. 28, 2016 at Kuwait Naval Base. The ceremony remembers the Battle of Kunu-Ri, where only 266 of its 977 Soldiers survived heavy fighting with the Chinese army and the unit was forced to burn its flag to avoid having it captured as a war trophy.
