We are proud to be able to help drive the campaign #Medal4Quinlan but we need your support to make it a success.
On October the 28th a monument to the late Colonel Pat Quinlan will be unveiled in Waterville, Kerry, Ireland. His bravery while serving in the Congo and in particular during the Siege at Jadotville in September 1961 is the stuff of legend.
His actions during the five day Siege and for six weeks while held as a prisoner of war, ensured that his 155 men from “A” Company all survived despite being attacked by a force of over 3,000.
Sadly the heroism of the men who fought in Jadotville was ignored and became something of a “fake news” story until students from Malahide Community School and Galway Community College joined forces to add their support to the ongoing 56 year campaign led by former veterans, their families and some politicians.
Will you support our #Medal4Quinlan campaign for his outstanding military and tactical leadership in the field of battle, which helped save the lives of the men in his company and inspired generations of Irish people to be better leaders by becoming selfless and looking after others first?
#Medal4Quinla
