Retired Col. Wes Fox to speak, sign books at museum
The Marine Corps Heritage Center is sponsoring a series of guest speakers at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
Retired Col. Wesley L. Fox, who received the Medal of Honor for heroic action in the Republic of Vietnam, will be the guest of honor at a dinner Friday at the museum.
Fox, a noted author and keynote speaker, will talk about combat leadership and how to overcome fear in war and in civilian life. A 42-year veteran of two wars, Fox joined the Corps in 1950 as a private and rose to the rank of colonel before retiring in 2001. After retirement, Fox served as deputy commandant of cadets at Virginia Tech.
Fox is the author of ''Marine Rifleman,'' an autobiography, and ''Courage and Fear,'' a primer on overcoming fear in your life. He will be available to sign books immediately before and after the dinner.
Call the Marine Corps Heritage Center at (703) 649-2350 for more information.
