Pat proudly served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. He was a radio operator-gunner in the China-Burma-India Theater. He flew 57 combat missions and was awarded 2 Distinguished Flying Crosses. There were many more. PGO represented the best of his generation. He was not, by any standard, perfect, but the members of that group are quite few in number. In the world in which he lived he did the best he could, in his personal life, at work, and most importantly, providing for his family. We will not see his likes again. Perhaps his legacy can be summed up by the final lines of a contemporary film 'There are some who would say that he was a great man. There are some who would say he was less than that. But when you ask me, my answer is always the same-Patrick G. O'Hare was my father.'
