I had the honor of meeting Col Fox at a militaria show in Chantilly VA, where he was signing autographs and selling his then-new book, "Marine Rifleman". I recall him as a friendly individual but with eyes that told me that he was deadly serious about what he was doing. I'd heard about what he did in the A Shau Valley - I was in Vietnam at roughly the same time and word got around on "the grapevine." I was glad he received the Medal of Honor for his deeds. After reading his book, I was surprised that he wasn't even more decorated than he was. He went through "interesting times."
