To name the ship in Patrick's memory would be a fitting tribute to his bravery and an honour for his family back in Mayo.

Another prime example of a “rich man's war and a poor man's fight" As a fellow Irishman I’m privileged to sign this petition in honoured of Corporal Patrick "Bob" Gallagher, for his courage and bravery. I the undersigned, respectfully request that the Secretary of the Navy name DDG117, or a subsequent DDG class ship scheduled to be procured in 2017, to be named after him, its nothing more than he deserves.
