A U.S. Navy ship named after Patrick Gallagher is both fitting and right.

My father Donald O'Keefe from the Bronx NY, a 66 year old USMC veteran, has been working tirelessly at getting the respect this man deserves, although he never knew him or his family. Semper fi

Why he did not get the MOH is beyond me. Not a citizen, but still a US Marine, and he saved other Marines and thought they made a big deal out of "nothing". SemperFi, Bob Herd

Gallagher should have received the Medal of Honor and naming a ship for him is a fitting gesture.

Had the grenade exploded when Bob covered it to save the lives of others, he would have been recommended for the CMH, because it didn't he was awarded the Navy Cross, his actions were the same, thus, he should had been awarded the CMH and should be awarded it now.
