Talk:Ralph W. Cousins

A personal note
My father was a naval aviator who flew off of the aircraft carrier U.S.S.Lexington (CV-2) with Ralph Cousins during the Battle of the Coral Sea. When asked, years after the Second World War had ended, how he managed to survive the battle, my father always replied, "I flew wing on Ralph Cousins, and I would follow Ralph Cousins through Hell." This isn't anything that I can provide proof of, it is merely a family anecdote, but I hope that it serves to demonstrate the kind of loyalty that Admiral Cousin's leadership ability engendered.CrashRiley (talk) 04:58, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
