Patrick McKernan grew up in Norristown, PA. His grandfather, father and uncle were all police officers. His father was also a United States Marine who served in WWII. Upon high school graduation, Pat enlisted in the Marines much to his father's chagrin, as the War in Vietnam was underway. Pat soon shipped down to Parris Island and completed his infantry training and then flew off to Danang, where he served in an Intelligence capacity for 13 months. Upon returning home from Vietnam, Pat was honorably discharged from the service and would soon follow in his paternal footsteps, signing on as a Whitpain Police Officer and later, with the Lansdale PD. Pat is currently enjoying retirement but never strays far from service, as he keeps in touch with his fellow service personnel and plays a role with the Valley Forge Memorial and other veterans organizations. This is the service story of Pat McKernan. Semper Fi, Marine!
