Fox is commander of North Carolina VFW District 12, consisting of posts in Rowan, Cabarrus, and Stanly Counties. Commander Fox is one of only 99 VFW District commanders worldwide to earn the title of All-American Commander.

In addition, Fox achieved All-American status as a Post Commander.

Fox, commander of Post 3006 in Salisbury, is one of only 198 VFW Post commanders worldwide to earn the title of All-American Commander.
