A hero to the people he tried to save. A legend to us all. A remarkable feat of bravery that makes us all stop and think.

I am from Ballyhaunis myself, to be from the same town as a hero is a genuine honour and blessing, I feel privileged. I hope he gets the recognition that is deserved.

Being Irish myself and naturalized an American citizen, nothing would make me prouder then to see such courage from a fellow Irishman be recognized in this way. Thank you to all Marines and other service members who serve our wonderful country. Semper fi and God bless Ireland and the USA.

You can take the man out of Mayo but you can't take Mayo out of the man.

On this day , July 18th, 1966 Patrick Gallagher jumped on a grenade while serving with the Marine Corp in Vietnam. He was subsequently awarded the Navy Cross for his brave action.

I support naming a new Naval vessel after Patrick Gallagher, an immigrant to the USA.
