Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

As an Irish citizen and green card holder, Corporal Gallagher could have availed himself of the US/Irish agreement exempting him from the draft (However, although he could have remained in the US, he would never have been able to become a US citizen). In choosing to register for the draft, he demonstrated his commitment to his adopted country. He has earned the honor of having a DDG ship named after him. This is a link to a more complete biography as well as the Navy Cross citation:

John Dullahan, LtCol US Army (Ret). Registered for the draft as a green card holder in 1967. Drafted in 1968 and served as an artillery forward observer in Vietnam.

This would be a fitting tribute for Patrick and all Irish men and women who contributed to making the world a better place.
