03 Sep 2002 REMEMBERED by his brother, Lee Strickland Lee.Strickland@att.net

26 Mar 2006 I had the pleasure of meeting with Sgt Strickland's father and brothers a couple of years ago. I want to let them know again that they can be proud of their son and brother. He was tough and his family can be very proud when his name is brought up as a Hero. He fought with everything he had until his end. Thank you for everything, Sgt Strickland. I will never forget you..... Semper Fidelis, Larry Jackson E/2/26 Marines LZ Margo 1968 Florida jacksonle1234@wmconnect.com
