Anyone from L Troop 3/11 ACR remember a SP4 Melvin "Mel" Willsey? He was in RVN from August 1969 - 1970. There for the Cambodian Incursion as well. Infantryman assigned to M113 L-37 "Lord Shillelalie" and recieved an ARCOM.
He passed away back in August and I acquired his lighter and 11ACVVC jacket. Would be interested in any stories or photos of him in Vietnam. Also, if there's any story about the lighter such as being a unit gift.
