HM3 Eichmann Strickland KIA 09 Sept 2008 in AFGHANISTAN

[Da-Chief]

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.

It truly saddens me to hear of a fallen Corpsman, who made the ultimate sacrifice. The price for freedom and the defense of the Constitution of these United States is costly and their ultimate sacrifices' must never be forgotten!

We at corpsman.com send our collective condolences to the Strickland family, friends, loved ones and shipmates.

The Lord is thy keeper: The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

My deepest condolences to his family.

Eich was a good guy. He helped look after my wife while I was on deployments. We think of him constantly and will always miss him.

I was his LPO in Japan. I PSC'd while he was deployed and I heard the news from an old SSgt we were stationed with... I have never been so abruptly affected by any news ever.

I thought about Eichmann for countless weeks after. He was a brother and someone I tried to look after. I can't believe he's gone.
