Dear Sir,
Like many of those that have posted, I saw your interview on Youtube and hoped to learn more about your amazing life (hoping, actually that you had authored a book which I could add to my library).
I can't begin to offer you the amount of gratitude that I wish for you and the heroes that you served with.
It is my sincere wish that you rest in eternal peace.

To Mrs. Russell and family:
I just learned of Mr. Russell from an interview his grandson, I believe, posted on YouTube recorded 10 years ago. I hoped to find him still alive, to write, but alas, I am too late.
To all of you, Mr. Russell was a good man, a thoughtful man, and a valiant man. He reflected all that is best about this country. I wish I could have told him this. I am telling you.
Sincerely,
Daniel Underwood

My deepest sympathy on the passing of Mr. Russell. From all I read about him, he really was the image of a proud US Marine, and a hero.
