[edit] Five Navy Crosses

"first person in the United States Navy" to receive five Navy Crosses, isn't he the first and only one?----ProdigySportsman 04:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC))

• To other recipient is Chesty Puller, most decorated in Marine Corps history. —ERcheck @ 22:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• It was a semi-retorical question. I know Chesty Puller was also awarded 5 Navy Crosses, but Davenport is the only Navy officer to do so. --ProdigySportsman 17:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

That is true. Davenport was the first and is the only Navy personnel to be awarded 5 Navy Crosses. C. Warren Gruenig, son in law. Jan. 11, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.65.199 (talk) 17:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
