I am proud to support Cpl Patrick Gallagher’s family and friend’s campaign to name a US navy ship in his name. Patrick (Bob) was one of 3,000 Irish men & women who proudly served his adopted country and one of 29 Irish to have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam, in what sadly became a bloodbath of humanity on both sides.
