As an Irishman who is also a U.S. Citizen, I have become aware of the contribution of Corporal Patrick "Bob" Gallagher in the Vietnam War and I unhesitatingly sign in support of the effort to name a U.S. Navy ship in his honour.

From a proud Irishman, I am honoured to sign this petition, for this brave young man, who gave his life fighting for freedom, under the flag of the United States. Fighting Irish, true and true.
