With the Kuwaiti colors in hand, a Kuwaiti Marine rushes to the center of Qaruh Island to fly the flag, Jan. 24, during a reenactment of the events which took place 20 years earlier. Qaruh Island was the first piece of land liberated by Kuwait and U.S. forces and was the first action of Operation Desert Storm. The reenactment of the liberation of Qaruh Island kicks off a month of festivities marking 50 years of Kuwait’s independence and 20 years of Kuwait’s liberation from Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi forces.
