Andrea Gallagher is an entrepreneur and wife of Eddie Gallagher, the 39-year-old former Navy SEAL that has been charged with war crimes he allegedly committed in 2017. She has been a vocal defender and activist calling for the release of her husband since his incarceration in 2018.
Eddie Gallagher was arrested at Camp Pendelton on September 11, 2018 and charged with premeditated murder, attempted murder, obstruction of justice, and other offenses that occurred during his eighth deployment in Iraq in 2017. Other Navy SEALs have implicated him in the stabbing murder of an injured teenage ISIS fighter, shooting two civilians, and firing rockets and machine guns indiscriminately into buildings. He was recently freed ahead of his trial and united with Andrea.
“I feel like it’s a small victory on the way to the larger victory,” Andrea Gallagher said outside of the courthouse following Eddie’s release, “He’s now free because of the misconduct by these prosecutors.”
