In your latest newsletter, Jerry Nealey Sr. asked about Zippo art. Here is the lighter Charlie Battery 1/13 had designed while we were in Vietnam. I believe it was designed by Lt. Eberhardt (Deceased).
I have seen another one like this with a different date on it, but this is the original one. I do not have a picture of the back, but on that side the lid had:
The only
Battery
"CHARLIE"
On the body of the lighter was a big V for the 5th Marine Division and two howitzers. Under that it had 1 July 66. That is when Charlie Battery was formed at Camp Horno, CA. We were attached to the 3/26.
