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.

Greetings, I am working on a project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. I am writing brief bios on the 31 men from Steuben County, New York who never returned home; one of which is PFC Smith...KIA 01/11/1968

I was hoping someone on this page might have remembered him and be willing to share their memories of him. He was only in-country three months.

I'm hoping to preserve these memories for future generations so they will know these men all had dreams and ambitions which were never realized.

Thank you in advance and more importantly Welcome Home!

Good morning all, my father, CSM Howard Burkhalter served with HHT, 1/11, ACR in Vietnam in 67 - 68 and again in 70 - 71. He talked very little about his times in Vietnam. I am trying to find out more about him during that period of his service. If anyone served with him, I would appreciate any information and or pictures you can share I would appreciate them.

You can reach me at wpburkhalter@hotmail.com.
