A U.S. Soldier assigned to the 2nd Engineer Battalion burns the battalion colors Nov. 30, 2010, during a ceremony at Camp Deh Dadi II, Afghanistan, commemorating the battalion?s actions on Nov. 30, 1950, during the Korean War battle of Kunu-Ri. During the battle, which led to the loss of more than 70 percent of the battalion?s men, the battalion commander ordered that the battalion?s flag be burned to prevent its capture as the engineers were overrun by Chinese forces.
