Patrick Joseph Walsh
Patrick Joseph Walsh (1908–1942) was a United States Navy officer killed in action during World War II who received the Silver Star posthumously for his actions.
==Biography==
He was born in New York City on 19 January 1908. He accepted a commission in the United States Naval Reserve as a lieutenant, junior grade, on 4 May 1942. He received instruction at the Naval Training School, Boston, Massachusetts, and later received more specialized training at the Armed Guard School at Little Creek, Virginia, from 16 June 1942 to 22 July 1942.
Walsh was Naval Armed Guard detachment commander aboard the merchant ship SS ''Patrick J. Hurley'' in the North Atlantic Ocean on the night of 12 September 1942 when the German submarine ''U-512'' stealthily surfaced and closed ''Patrick J. Hurley''. Undetected, ''U-512'' opened fire on ''Patrick J. Hurley'' with devastating effect. Walsh fell severely wounded in the initial shelling, taking shrapnel in the throat. In spite of the withering German machine-gun fire directed at his battle station on ''Patrick J. Hurley''s bridge, Walsh remained at his post, though weak from loss of blood. He died of his wounds.
