Joe Foss Marine Corps fighter pilot who scored 26 victories in the Pacific. Awarded the Medal of Honor, and after coming home serves in the Arizona Legislature, Commissioner of the National Football League, and was President of the National Rifle Association.
Passed away January 2, 2003.

His passing was not mentioned by most media outlets - must have been due to his NRA affiliation.

To Joe, Gods speed and Semper Fi !
