My wife gave me my first Zippo as a coming home present from Desert Storm, in Saudi Arabia. I was serving in the United States Marine Corps, So my Zippo was appropriately emblazoned with the marine Corps emblem. Very cool! The lighter had a brushed silver body and a shiny brass eagle, globe and anchor. It's not just a lighter. This is a keepsake from my wife for our time away from each other and a reminder of who I am. This token is better than any medals or citations that I received.
