I served six years in the U.S. Marines and believe the new DDG class ship should be named after Marine Hero KIA Patrick Gallagher.

Name the Navy Ship Corporal Patrick Gallagher. Please lets get back to reality. The last administration tried to destroy the country and they almost did.

Stick with the time honored tradition. It ain't broken don't fix it. Naming of military bases, ships etc is for those who ''stepped up to serve".

Thanks for your attention to this matter. Ships should be named after military heroes, not civilian activists.
