I was with the 701st maintenance Battalion in Phu Loi from July 66 to July 67. I guess we were in different fields for I was mechanic of fixed wing aircraft.

Hi Ron, pleasure to hear from you. Avel stands for Aviation Electronics Support Company. We were an avionics company. What unit were you with at Phu Loi?

Ron Hollis on June 8, 2013 at 5:39 PM said:

I was in Vietnam at Phu Loi July 1966-1967. My MOS was Aviation Mechanic Fixed Wing. I would be interested in any information concerning my comrades at that time. What does AVEL stand for? I am not familiar with it. I worked at the airfield with the OV1 Mohawk and the O1 Birddog. I road gunner on a Huey with Art Thornberg also. Thank you for any information you may have.

Letting Go

An old man stands as straight as time allows, tears form and follow the deep lines in his face... and he lets it go. His reflection shimmers in the black stone, behind the names of those he has known as a bugle plays its mournful tones...and he lets it go. The flag snaps in the wind, a symbol of those who died and those who came home again, hurt, angry and alone, abandoned by those who should have known what it takes to be free...and he lets it go. Turning, he walks slowly away, weeping for what was lost, for what was gained, of what had to be... an old man, much like you, much like me

Vietnam Means Something-Different but the same-To all of us
Vietnam has a lasting effect of one sort or another on all Americans
Vietnam can only be understood by those of us who were there
…….and we don’t understand it!

Okay Okay. I made a mistake spelling Marvin's name and didn't proof read my comment. I bet Bill Biggs, Orbin and Aaron knew who i was talking about.
