Description
The story of Joe Foss's many lives: as WWII Marine ace and winner of the Medal of Honor, organizer with others of the Air National Guard in South Dakota as well as Brigadier General and Chief of Staff, member of the S.D. House of Representatives, youngest governer of the state of South Dakota, popular host of two television programs, organizer with others of the Crippled Children's School and Hospital in Sioux Falls, president of the South Dakota Society of Cripped Children and Adults and president of the National Society of Crippled Children and Adults, first commissioner of the American Football League, and president of the NRA. His story is the focus of "American Ace: The Joe Foss Story", a production of South Dakota Public Broadcasting. Foss, born to a South Dakota farm family in 1915, fell in love with airplanes as a boy. He joined the Marines, and earned his wings at age 26, but was told he was too old to be a fighter pilot. But Foss persevered, getting his chance just months after Pearl Harbor. Foss proved himself over in Guadalcanal. In just six weeks, he shot down 23 Japanese planes. He earned international fame and the Medal of Honor.
