Medal of Honor winner Wesley Fox dies in Blacksburg at 86
Front Royal native Col. Wesley Fox, one of Warren County's two Medal of Honor recipients, died Nov. 24 at his Blacksburg home. A Marine Corps officer who served 43 years, Fox earned the nation’s highest valor for actions in Operation Dewey Canyon in Vietnam. He was awarded the MOH in 1971 after displaying exceptional leadership and risking his life to save wounded Marines. Fox’s friend Bill Hammack recalled his patriotism and strength forged in Warren County, where he grew up before joining the service in the Korean War era.
