My two granduncles died in Flanders in 1915. My father was a medic and saw combat in the Congo. I admire the courage of Patrick Gallagher.

I am from Dublin, Ireland and it is of great pride that I served with the United States Marine Corps. Having read about Patrick Gallagher going back to 1999. His actions in Vietnam are truly heroic and above approach. I think it would be a Great Honor to have a US Navy named after him and that legacy lives on.
Thank You.
Sincerely

I think it would be a fitting honor for an emigrant who gave his life for the freedom of the people of the United States that the US Navy name a ship after him.

To whom it may concern
His actions as a Combatant bring honor to The USMC and the wider U.S. military and should to be acknowledged and remembered.
It would be fitting to have a ship named after him.
