Obel H. Wells

Colonel Obel Wells was my immediate supervisor in Vietnam. We served together October 1970 to April 1971 as MACV advisors in the mountainous jungle region of northern I Corps between the DMZ, the Ashau Valley and Hue City. He was the Senior Advisor to the ARVN 3rd Infantry Regiment, 1st ARVN Division. I noticed that his Silver Star award from Korea, listed on the Valor Awards website has no citation. He told me about this combat action in detail during one of our professional talks in...

I served with then Major Wells in Berlin and Ft.Riley in '63 & '64. I considered he and Suzie among my best friends in those days. I've told a thousand people since then that he is the guy I wanted to be when I grew up. To the girl in the green shoes!

Elizabeth, Court & children. We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Obie. We always enjoyed him and know how much he will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all in this very difficult time.

My thoughts go out to you and the family. Obie was a wonderful man and will be missed dearly. I enjoyed getting to know him as part of the Barre Rotary Club. It was always nice having him stop into our meetings when he was back here in Vermont.

Liz: Diane and I were saddened to hear of Obie's passing. He is a man I much admired for his service to his country and his community, as well as fellow Rotarian and golf partner. He will be missed greatly. Bill and Diane Noyes
