Okay after reading around the blogosphere, here's the import of the lighter.
Dick Whitman dropped his lighter which accidentally started the fire that killed Don Draper.
He didn't just take Draper's dog tags, but the lighter of the man who he impersonated. We know that because the PFC called him "Lieutenant."
So Don has literally lost his talisman for changing his life, exchanging Dick Whitman for Don Draper.
Roger Sterling's best quips, in a handy list (collected by a friend of mine):

Going back a ways as I just caught up with this myself:
I'm just catching up on the finale, but just wanted to pop in and say HOLY CRAP about the showdown in the nursery. I had to rewind it twice because it was so awesome, especially Winona's bit with the groin/femoral artery shot and then badass and rage/fear-fueled emptying of her clip.
Continuing the trend of men underestimating women on Justified at their own peril.
Finally watched the Mad Men premiere. Meh. So didn't need to be 2 hours long. Loved seeing my gal Peggy, though!
Thanks, Psych. I thought you were getting complacent, but that final scene, including the Gus bit, was way more sincerity than I was expecting from this show. Nicely done.
Indeed! I kinda forgot that issue was lurking.
Man, have you guys been watching
Southland?
I just caught up this week and first: Ben Sherman - WTF????
And then - Oh no Coop!
Behind on Psych. Did watch Mad Men - you guys had a lot more in depth stuff to say about it. I didn't even recognize Linda Cardinelli!
I didn't even recognize Linda Cardinelli!
I wouldn't have either if I didn't know she was in the episode.
Just finished the latest Southland and holy heck! What an intense episode!
