We need to always show honor to all Our Veterans. This is a fabulous way to show honor to one of Our Heroes; Cpl. Patrick " Bob " Gallagher.

It is only right and fitting to name a navy ship in honour of Capt. Gallagher.

The world today would be a better place if this young was here with us. If he was ( which he should be) here now he's possibly have passed his morals and ethics and honour down to his offspring. The world would be in a better place. RIP

A marine. A patriot. An Irishman by birth, yet American through and through. No worthier honoree.

Corporal Gallagher is a try American hero. I support efforts to name a DDG class ship after this USMC Corporal.

I have worked on the WWII destroyer Cassin Young and told the story of the man the ship is named after. Having read the story of Patrick Gallagher, I believe his name would be most appropriate for a new vessel.
