The general warehouse of Long Binh is an arsenal located in Bien Hoa, Dong Nai, a General warehouse Long Binh is the location of the war Commander II and the US No. 1 Logistics command, which is also the bomb depot, large American ammunition in southern Vietnam. On Oct. 28, 1966, it was the first attack of the Special Forces Division of Bien Hoa (the name of U1) into the weapons depot of the American Army in South Vietnam. Built from the middle of the year 1965. Zippo was from 68-69 to the base of the American military in Vietnam. Not only in this war that regardless of the battle of Zippo against soldiers as a soul friend. The soldier not only used Zippo to group the kitchen, which was also used in military tactical notation. For example, it's a way to remotely command the information through the secret from the teams that communicate with each other. Not only that, the Zippo lighter is used as the name tag, the American soldier carving his name on Zippo instead of the missing name tag. My grandparents told me when I let them see this video. Sorry about my English🙆🏻‍♀️

But.... the corrosion is fake. It's a brass case, so wouldn't rust like that, no pitting when cleaned up, the cotton inside was really clean for something that would have had to be underwater to corrode like that. More than likely dipped a nice lighter in a bucket of rusty water and let it dry on there. So really just a cleaning and not a restoration. A lot of guys do it overseas to get in on the money made from restoration videos on youtube. Even this channel if you look at some of his past videos. Once you realise it's fake corrosion and know what to look for it's pretty obvious.

Brass is a red (copper-based) metal, it's nothing like iron. It doesn't "rust", but it oxidates quite easily. The oxidation layer actually protects the metal underneath, so there won't be any pitting for a very long time. Remove the oxidation layer, and you can easily get the metal underneath to look like new. See all those green copper roofs? They're good for a century or more.

The quote at the end left me in tears. This was amazing. 🤘🏻😭

HiTmAn ThE TrAsH pAnDa I’m going to not question your name, but thank you for your service

Comments show no shortage of negativity over one act of kindness that required nothing of them. For the record I understood the thought, that was the point and it made me smile, and there was nothing wrong with that, thankyou.

The Long Bình Warehouse is an arsenal located in Bien Hoa, Dong Nai, built by the US in the middle of 1965. The Long Bình Warehouse has an area of ​​about 24 km2, located about 20 km east of Saigon, from the citadel. Biên Hòa street is about 7 km. The Long Bình General Warehouse is home to the No. 2 Field Command and the US Logistics Command No. 1, which is also the largest US bomb and ammunition warehouse in southern Vietnam. On October 28, 1966, the place where the first ambush of Biên Hòa special forces (codename U1) took place in the US military arsenal in South Vietnam. This Zippo is very first year of Long Bình Warehouse. It may belong to somebody who used to be that place.

Asking cus I might do one. I have a 70s Zippo at the moment works great.

The quote stems from the US marine corp in WW2, so i'm guessing the owner of the Zippo was a marine during the Vietnam war.

@MrJuanTwoThree09

4 жыл бұрын

Judging off of the third class pretty officer rank on the front of the lighter it's a safer bet to assume he was most likely a navy corpsman attached to a marine division, we spend so much time with the marine corps that we pick up a lot of their saying, and in turn a lot of marines see us as marines in our own right (that is if you're not utterly incompetent at your job when treating wounded marines)

What a great message ! And you are doing so much . Thx a lot ...
