HM3 Eichmann A. Strickland, KIA 09 SEPT 2008, AFGHANISTAN

September 16, 2008 · Print This Article

It is with a sad heart that I have to post we lost another Doc in Afghanistan.

HM3 Strickland was Killed in Action last week in Afghanistan by a IED along with 2 Marine Corps Officers.

I have known about the loss of HM3 since last week, but we were not able to post it due to DOD not announcing it until today. His Command in Japan had been notified as well as his family, but we don’t post until the DOD notification gives us the okay.

This truly hurts, during a week when we are pinning our new Chief Petty Officers, to have to do this as well.

Our Heats and Prayers go out to HM3 Strickland’s Family, Friends, Shipmates. We at Corpsman.com Salute you and will honor Eichmann’s memory.

D/C

Almost everyone who came across Strickland has a vivid memory of him.

He touched many people's lives, and I know he did mine for sure.

I only hope i can have the joy of someday meeting someone who can possibly remind me of Strickland and have such a positive aura and be so optimistic with life.

He touched my heart in a way that only a special friend could. He was there for me when no one else was. Through the good and the bad. He gave me advice, strength, compassion, laughter, and so much more; But mostly He gave me his love and friendship. I will ALWAYS remember him. I love him so much.
He will always live in my memories and heart! I miss you!

HM3 Strickland was my mentor when I checked into the ward at my first duty station, NHCP. I was shocked to see this. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and unit, as well as to those of the Marines lost.

I met Strickland by chance one day at the beach.

What a blessing it is to have passed by him that day, to have been able to make that chance encounter into a beautiful friendship.

He was an amazing person and he had such a positive impact on my life.

I love you Strickland!

HM3 Strickland was a very compassionate, loving, and the sweetest person you will ever come across. He was just one of those people who could light up a room with just one smile. I served with him at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, and was on the Color Guard. As one of my junior Corpsman he definitely kept me on my toes.

We will never forget him here at NHCP.

I love you Kuya!

Strickland was the type of person and that when you met them, you never forgot them. He had the happy go lucky personality that everyone wished they had. I was one of the many people who got to know, work with him. He touched my life and we always helped each other out. I will dearly miss him, but we all know that he is in a better place now. My prayers are with the family, and other friends. He will be missed greatly.

I didn't know Strickland personally, but when I saw him come to 7N NHCP to visit a friend, he'd always have a smile on his face and a positive attitude.

He will be missed, even by those who hardly knew him.

HM3 Strickland, I never met you, but you seemed to be well liked. We have taken care of your military profile and have relieved your watch by HM1 (SW/AW/FMF) Rich Hopka. Taken early in your life, taken from those that love you, rest in peace.

HM3 Strickland,

Thank you for being such a wonderful person and for having a huge impact on many lives, even my own. We both started at the NHCP, in the barracks and that's where our friendship began. Than, you talked me into joining the color guard and TRIED to teach me the rifles, but that was a no go, you know, I was TERRIBLE, lol.... But I will now thank God everyday for allowing me the pleasure in meeting you and getting close to you, as if you were my own brother. Myself, along with many others, will miss you dearly. I will treasure the moments we were lucky to share! I love you, my asianpersuasion with a honda civic!!!! Rest in peace, the world is at a great loss without you.

I remember Strickland as a good quite HN when he came thru FMTB. As one of his Instructors, I saw this kid grow and develop and leave a different person. Hard to teach, but he learned. A well rounded individual.

My prayers are with his family

I first met Eich when we began training for the mission in Afghanistan. I was the senior corpsman for the team, and the only HM3 at that. When Eich picked up 3rd we all celebrated like any other sailor would. We become close friends and teammates through the rigorous training. There were many times when the stresses of being the senior person overwhelmed me, and Strickland would always be there to cheer me up or help me out. I saw him grow ten fold while we went through training. The stories I have of him could make up a novel, but to be blunt he was the greatest person I believe I've ever met. His smile and corkyness could bring you outta the deepest slumber. I'll always remember you Eich as an amazing teammate, friend, but over all person. khudaa Hafiz.

I worked with Strickland at Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital. My name is HM3 Melissa Garcia. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He was a very genuine friend that would always listen when you needed him to. He was so much fun to work with, and I am shocked about his passing. My thoughts and prayers goes out to his family. He was a wonderful person, and he will truely be missed
