TIL that a soldier’s Zippo lighter, found in the jungle in Vietnam, was returned to its rightful owner 50 years later ahead of Veteran’s Day 2021. The Zippo was engraved with the soldiers name, but the two men never met despite being part of the same unit.

2. Which two men never met? Were there two names on the lighter?

   Or was the lighter found by another soldier?

3. The soldier thanked his comrade then promptly used the lighter to spark up a doobie
