Lt. Colonel Fox was a ranking member of the 88 Marines (72 entombed and often forgotten) aboard the USS Arizona. On 4 October 1918, then Sergeant Danny Fox earned the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross(DSC) and the French Croix de Guerre (the highest French honor) while serving as an infantry Marine with the Fifth Marine Regiment that saved Paris from the Germans. The Germans labeled these brave men ‘Devil Dogs’ (Teufelhunden). A portion of our proceeds will be pledged to the National Park Center Services and to www.DevilPups.com - the summer camp for kids 14 to 17 headquartered at Camp Pendleton. Today, there are three living Marine shipmates from the USS Arizona – one in Texas, one in Indiana, and former Commanding Officer (CO), Colonel John Earle, who lives in Hawaii. |
