Saas Grund

**Saas-Grund** is a municipality in Visp in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It is east of Lenzspitze and Dom.

## History

Saas-Grund was first mentioned in the year 1438. Back then, it was called _grunderro_.

On 3 April 1849, an avalanche hit the village. It destroyed a house that was used as a safe place during bad weather. Nineteen people died.

After this event, people built special rooms under the houses near the hill. These rooms were called _Lawinengruft_, which means avalanche vault. Each vault was about 5 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high. They were used as shelters during avalanches.

In 1943, a magazine called _Die Alpen_, made by the Swiss Alpine Club, said that the vaults were last used in the winter of 1887–1888. At that time, only two vaults were still there. Many families shared one vault. If someone wanted to change the vault, they needed to get permission from all the other owners.

Saint Lawrence Seaway

The **Saint Lawrence Seaway** is a navigable waterway in North America. It is  long and allows marine vessels to go from the Atlantic Ocean to all of the Great Lakes. Most of it is in Canada, but a small part of it is in the United States. It gets its name from the Saint Lawrence River, the river which goes from Lake Ontario to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

Before the Seaway was built, there was no way for boats and ships to get around the rapids and dams on the Saint Lawrence River. Big ships could not pass Niagara Falls, the waterfalls on the Niagara River between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. In the early 20th century, the governments of both Canada and the U.S. saw that the cities near the Great Lakes could grow and become an important part of the economy of both countries. There were people in both countries who did not want the Seaway to be built, but the project went ahead.

In 1954, construction began on a system of canals from Montreal in the east to Port Colborne in the west. It included 15 locks where the water level changes, and several places where electricity could be made from the flow of water. The project also involved making the Welland Canal bigger so that large ships can pass through it.

The Seaway was completed in 1959 at a cost of C$470 million. Today, thousands of vessels use it every year, from small recreational boats to huge ocean liners. About 40 to 50 million tonnes of cargo are moved on these ships and they go to all parts of the world including Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It has been an important part of the economic growth of cities like Toronto, Hamilton, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Chicago. There are plans to make the Seaway even wider so that container ships as big as those that travel through the Panama Canal can use it.

## Early life

## Korean War and Medal of Honor

After his unit was ambushed near Sataeri on that day, he ran through heavy fire to rescue his wounded commander, Capt. George Gividen. As he was pulling the man to safety, three hostile soldiers attacked. West shielded the commander with his body and killed the attackers with his rifle, suffering a wound which resulted in the loss of his eye in the process.

Despite this injury, he remained on the field and assisted in the evacuation of other wounded men, at one point killing three more hostile soldiers. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor just over a year later, on January 29, 1954 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Wesley L. Fox

**Wesley Lee Fox** (September 30, 1931 – November 24, 2017) was a retired United States Marine Corps colonel with 43 years of service. Fox received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War, and was thought to be one of the Marine Corps' legendary heroes.

## Early life

Fox was born in Herndon, Virginia. He studied at Warren County High School. He married Dotti Fox in the 1950s.

## Service

Beginning in September 1967, Fox served in the Vietnam War for 13 months as an executive officer of a South Vietnamese Marine Battalion. In November 1968, he was reassigned to Vietnam as the company commander of Company A, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines until May 1969.

On February 22, 1969, during Operation Dewey Canyon in Quang Tri Province, he was wounded twice. He was wounded the first time in the shoulder when his company was attacked by a large enemy force. A first lieutenant at the time, Fox then personally neutralized one enemy emplacement and directed his company to destroy others. After his company's executive officer was mortally wounded, he continued to direct the company's actions, ordering air strikes and coordinating the advance until the enemy retreated; Fox, the only officer left in his company that was capable of resisting the enemy, was wounded again in the final assault, but refused medical attention while he reorganized his troops and prepared the wounded for evacuation.

For his heroic actions that day he was presented the Medal of Honor by President Richard Nixon on March 2, 1971.

## Later life

Fox retired from the Marine Corps as a full colonel in September 1993 at the mandatory age of 62. Fox has written a book about his experiences in the military, _Marine Rifleman: Forty-Three Years in the Corps_ (), and was featured on the 2003 PBS program _American Valor_.
