    A man wearing a black cowboy hat and blue jacket is smashing a bottle against the front hull of a tan/desert-colored military tank, in what appears to be a christening or dedication ceremony. The bottle shatters on impact, with green glass fragments and liquid visibly spraying outward. The setting appears to be an outdoor area adjacent to a brick building.

    Retired Lt. Col. Timothy Gauthier, a former scout platoon leader with Eagle Troop, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, christens a T-72 Iraqi Tank, the same model tank that Gauthier and his former Soldiers fought against during the Battle of 73 Easting, while participating in the squadron's commemoration ceremony held at Rose Barracks, Germany, March 11, 2016. The event was in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the unit's historic Operation Desert Storm victory and commemorated the history of the longest serving Cavalry Regiment in the United States Army.
