PicturePat and with his Family
Ernest Patrick "Pat" Hogan III​

​​Pat was a very faithful man not only in his love for God but love of country. He served as an Army Paratrooper for the 173 Airborne and made the first and only air drop with 800 men into Viet Nam. It was a disaster. For the last 6 months of Pat’s 12-month tour, he served as the bodyguard escort for Father Charles Watters.
