JOE FOSS

If you've ever lived in South Dakota, you'll want to remember that JOE FOSS WAS BORN 99 YEARS AGO TODAY.

Foss was a real South Dakota hero.  The Sioux Falls airport code is FSD which stands for "Foss Field".

As a World War II hero, Joe shot down 26 enemy planes during the battle for Guadalcanal.  He went on to become the Governor of South Dakota and the first commissioner of the American Football League.
