Default Had two

great Zippo's from Vietnam. One was from the Cav when I left, the other from the Koreans. The Cav one had a Cav patch on one side, the other side had my 8th Cav emblem with C/2. The Koreans gave me one with the MACV emblem on one side, and "You never really lived until you nearly died" 9th KID, 38th Regiment, on the other. Both of these were stolen from me here in the states in two different bars.

I still have a zippo with a friend of mine's coal company logo on it. I don't use it because I'm always "quitting" and to use it again means that I'm not going to stop, even though I havn't stopped. Some sort of mojo I guess, keep thinking if I don't use it I'll defineately quit. Not working.....guess I'll have to crank it up again. Wish I still had my other ones.
