Daniel Preston Whitten

West Point, 2004

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Tim Marvich on August 12, 2011:

Yesterday, at the airport in Houston, I had the honor to meet CPL LeGrand Strickland, who lost his legs in the same IED attack that killed CPT Whitten and PFC Lovejoy. LeGrand and I spoke for a long while about many things, including Dan and his leadership.

It was obvious that Dan's leadership and humor impacted LeGrand in a profound and lasting way and I'm confident that Dan's sacrifice provides LeGrand daily strength and inspiration as he continues his rehabilitation and therapy.
