Put a real hero's name on a Ship, rather than some crooked congressman or a four star who did not deserve to be in the service. Smothered a grenade to save his buds in Viet Nam.

A true US Marine Hero! I urge the SECNAV to honor his heroic example which would be an inspiration to all who will serve on that US Warship!

I too served in Vietnam while still being a german citizen on a green card. We are a country of immigrants and should recognize their contributions whether they came from Europe or other continents.

This is a perfect example of the kind of person for whom we should name a U.S. warship. Guy Higgins

I feel this would be a proper and deserved way to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of Corporal Patrick Gallagher.

Lance Corporal Patrick "Bob" Gallagher was awarded the Navy Cross for bravery, having been drafted into the service of his adopted country, he willingly served. While under fire Patrick Gallagher showed his extraordinary heroism and inspiring valor in the face of almost certain death, he saved his comrades from probable injury and possible loss of life. His daring actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
