It was never lost on me that our ability</div> <div> to operate as we did, was only made possible by the support provided by these good men, our Commanders.</div> <div>     When in the Army, it is often written off as "brownnosing" when we speak kindly of those above us. But when true combat soldiers, such as yourselves, speak well of these good men, I can assure you, they take it as the highest honor which can be given them. After thirty years I remain supremely proud of each of you. I consider your continuing loyalty to be more important than any other honor or award bestowed on me. I am certain they feel the same.</div> <div>     Recently, Lieutenant General (Retired) James Hollingsworth, the famed "Danger 79er", who had nurtured me as a young Sergeant, and later recommended me for the Medal of Honor, for the Battle of Loc Ninh 1972, said "I love you Zippo." For this great warrior of many wars and battles to tell me that at age 83, made the simple trials and tribulations of being a good soldier worth it all. In the end, as the years move so swiftly by, the true devotion of your fellow soldiers becomes the defining element of what our lives really meant, and continue to mean. What these good men are telling you is simply; "You were different and served with distinction." You gave all of us, especially me, too much credit for it all.      </div> <div>     What Ben Harrison, Bobby Porter and I have always known is that it was you good men yourselves, who made us look good and not the other way around. What makes these senior men different is their ability, and willingness to say it.</div> <div>     The mark of a true Soldier.</div> <bR> <div>   <B>Zippo</b></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></U></b></div> <div>    <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Battle of Loc Ninh Rattlers Helicop"><U><B><U>T</U></b></U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" ><A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Battle of Loc Ninh Rattlers Helicop"><U><B><U>he Battle of Loc Ninh</U></b></U></A></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" > </FONT>- <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Bell MT" ><B>The callsign of the American on the ground who seemed to be holding </b></FONT></div> <div> <B>                                                 it all together was </b><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Bell MT" ><B>Zippo</b></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >............... </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Bell MT" >     </FONT><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B><U>A</U></b></U></A><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B><U>fter Action Report</U></b></U></A><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B> </b></U></A><B><U>: </U></b><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B><U>The battle of Loc Ninh</U></b></U></A><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B> </b></U></A><B><U> ~ </U></b><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B><U>4 - 7 A</U></b></U></A><A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Loc Ninh Report"><U><B><U>pril 1972</U></b></U></A><B> </b></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" >         </FONT><A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="AIM Report"><U><B><U>AIM Report</U></b></U></A><A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="AIM Report"><U><U> </U></U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" >     </FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" ><B>Here's a bombshell story you haven't seen in the national media.</b></FONT></div> <div>                                             <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#003366" FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" ><B>Reed Irvine, Editor  -   Joseph C.
