When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, America answered the call. Operation Desert Shield began as a mission to protect Saudi Arabia, quickly becoming the largest military buildup since Vietnam. When diplomacy failed, Operation Desert Storm delivered one of the most decisive victories in modern warfare. In a matter of weeks, coalition forces drove Iraqi troops from Kuwait - liberating a nation and demonstrating the power of American resolve. For the more than 650,000 who served, this conflict was defined by precision technology, air superiority and overwhelming force, broadcast in real time to the world. Now, this collection of Zippo® lighters honors their courage and sacrifice with a bold and lasting salute. Introducing the Gulf War Zippo® Lighter Collection, a fine Zippo exclusive available from The Bradford Exchange. This limited-edition collection begins with Issue One, Defending Freedom. Soon, your collection will continue with Issue Two, Desert Shield, followed by Issue Three, Custom Display - a $75 value, yours for the same low price as a single issue - and additional collectible Gulf War Zippo® lighters, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Proudly made in the U.S.A., each lighter in this collection features an authentic Zippo Street Brass finish and showcases full-color artwork depicting defining moments of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
