This very brave Marine lived up to the exceedingly high demands of the US Marine Corps.
Corporal Patrick Gallagher not only lived up to those high standards, he died, saving his fellow Marines.
This valor is exactly what the Medal of Honor was established for and would be a travesty should he not receive it posthumously

Name the ship after this inspirational young man. Let Patrick "Bob" Gallagher represent all the young men who adopted the USA as their home and were willing to fight and die for that privilege

He deserves this honor. I know there were many like him who received nothing when they got home but scorn. I think for their sake and his you should do this.
