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.

NO HIT ZONE?

Beginning June 2, the Gunderson Health Care Campus will be designated as a NO HIT ZONE.

Apparently they see so many instances where parents are hitting on their kids, kids are hitting on each other etc. that they thought this latest "security move" was necessary.

This is such a sad commentary on our society and our values.  I guess, however, I shouldn't be surprised considering we live in a nation that has been in one kind of war or another nearly the entire 74 I have been on this planet.  We seem to think the only way to address a problem is to kill it or get elected to congress so you can scream at each other like 10 year old children.

 

We may live in a "Christion country" but we don't even attempt to live according to the teaching of Jesus Christ.  Instead of "loving thy neighbor", our answer to the non-stop violence and name calling that this country is drowning  is to post "No Hit Zones".
