On 9-21-69 when Russell blew there were 2 marines killed that day from 3/4. You have Portugal (Silveria) listed but you need to add Grover Bowen, H&S Co. 3/4 scout sniper from Columbus, Ohio to the memorial page.  I had just got done talking to Portugal and was walking across the LZ to talk to the sniper sitting there sighting in on something toward Winchester with his big bore 700 remington. the LZ blew and he and Portugal were killed.
