Pat Lenehan is the founding father of IGI, and has been responsible for funding and recruiting IGI members since the organisation inception in 1995. He served in the Korean War as a 1st Lieutenant in the US army artillery division. He earned the respect of his colleagues and superior officers, when North Korean forces had encircled his unit, and Lenehan led a brave assault to break out, and go for help. Lenehan was the last of his platoon left alive when he reached HQ, and as a consequence of his efforts the whole unit was evacuated safely. He retuned to the US as a hero, and became a respected man in his local community. Within six years he was Mayor, and inside ten he was a leading figure of the Republican Party. Today he is one of the longest serving Senators in the House of Representatives.
