Eric Strickland was 24 hours away from being evicted when Jacksonville Area Legal Aid came to the rescue.
Currently, he’s on disability from his job as a truck driver after dealing with a heart issue. He was served with an eviction notice after falling behind on rent.
“I always keep this with me, that’s why I still have it,” said Strickland while holding onto the American Flag that was given to him during his father’s funeral.
Strickland served in the Army during the Persian Gulf War, his father was in the military during WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
He packed up his entire apartment with the threat of being evicted just one day away.
