A Mayo man, living in America, giving his life for his comrades in Viet Nam-what a story! God bless you, Corporal.

The USS Patrick Gallagher would be a wonderful tribute to this true patriot.

I was Patrick's pen pal at the age of 10, when he was serving in Viet Nam. He was such a great gentleman, and kind man to write to a little kid like me and to share his world - of Ireland AND Viet Nam! I only learned in the past 2 years of our connection, and learned of his death there. He was a great hero - Irish AND American!

I will forward this petition to other service veterans with pleasure.

The above served in Navy from 64-68. r presnt serving as American Legion State Commander, Florida.

Please honor his bravery and his ultimate sacrifice.

Great way to honor a true patriot!
