Remembering Marine Col. Wesley Fox

Col. Wesley Fox was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1971 for his bravery during Operation Dewey Canyon in the winter of 1969. One of the last major battles of the Vietnam War, Dewey Canyon was a mission to prevent the NVA form establishing a significant foothold in the A Shau Valley for a major assault on South Vietnam. Col. Fox showed bravery in repulsing the enemy attack and establishing command during the engagement against a numerically superior force. He was the only survivor of the five Medal of Honor winners from Operation Dewey Canyon.
