Defenders of Freedom Brushed Chrome Zippo Lighter

Soldiers have carried Zippo lighters in every war from World War II through Iraqi Freedom. Amid the uncertainty of war, it’s the one thing a soldier can count on - in rain, wind or snow, it works every time. The company archives are filled with letters detailing the many uses a Zippo lighter has served in the military: heating rations in a helmet, lighting campfires, sparking fuses for explosives, hammering nails and even signaling to fellow soldiers with the famous Zippo click. On numerous occasions, a Zippo lighter in a shirt or pants pocket has saved a life by deflecting bullets. No wonder legendary WWII war correspondent Ernie Pyle wrote, “Getting hold of a Zippo lighter is like getting hold of a hunk of gold. There is truly nothing the average soldier would rather have.”

All Zippo lighters are made in the U.S.A. and come with a lifetime "fix it FREE" warranty. If any Zippo product should ever fail just return it to Zippo mfg for a FREE reapair. No sales receipt, no questions. Just a simple no-nonsense warranty on a great American made product.
