Update from the petition side:
The petition page remains open despite having reached our 10,000 goal. The next objective is to obtain approx 10 letters of endorsement from members of congress and retired members of the military.
Please keep the signatures coming , every one is much appreciated.
As a reminder, the 40 minute documentary on Patrick can be found with the simple google search of "Mayo boy Vietnam hero"

Just listened to the "Mayo boy vietnam hero" on mwr. Excellent documentary and will listen to it again as I have now found it via a google search as a podcast.

Heard the the documentary on Patrick Bob Gallagher by Kathy Rafferty on Midwest radio this morning. He was a hero and deserves this honour.

I would like to be associated with the petition to have a ship named in honour of Corporal Patrick Gallagher, USMC, Navy Cross.
