Pat Gallagher, a foreign national, has his name on the Wall. I'm a Vietnam Vet who thinks it deserves to be on a U.S. Navy destroyer.

CPL Gallagher displayed outstanding heroism in Vietnam. Can you imagine what went through his mind in shielding his buddies when he jumped on a grenade, only later to be killed by the enemy. I know the area well where he comes from as my wife grew up a few miles away in Shrule, Co. Mayo. The men of the "West" have always been brave through the centuries. God Bless him and may he rest in peace, Amen.

As sons of a WWii Marine who fought in 3 of the worst pacific battles it is a honor to be part of the petition. May God have mercy on the soul of Patrick Gallagher and all who have sacrificed. Semper Fi

I have known others from Ireland who served in Viet Nam with the USMC. Both my uncles served in the U.S. Army in WWII following my grandmothers move from Ireland. This ship will honor Patrick Gallagher and countless others.

This soldier deserves to have a ship named after him. He gave his life for our country.
