Maj. Bill Conde, executive officer of the 2nd Engineer Battalion, currently deployed to Camp Dehdadi II in Northern Afghanistan, sets the battalion colors ablaze as soldiers of the unit commemorate the Nov. 30, 1950, Battle of Kunu-Ri during the Korean war. During the historic battle 60 years ago more than 5,000 American soldiers were killed, wounded or captured by Chinese forces. When the battle was over, all but one officer of the battalion had been captured or killed. To prevent the colors from becoming a war trophy for the enemy, the command set it ablaze.
