Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
When you think of an “All American Hero”, you’re basically thinking of Joe Foss. Born in South Dakota in 1915 to a family living in a farm house without electricity, Joe decided early on that he wanted to be a Marine Aviator. Following the untimely death of his father, he helped his mother and sister to continue running the family farm despite horrific dust storms while continuing to pursue his education. He served in the 147th Artillery Regiment of the South Dakota National guard from 1939-1940 before finally acquiring both his pilot certificate and a college degree, whereupon he hitchhiked to Minneapolis to become a Marine Aviator. Initially being assigned to aerial photography due to his age, once the US had entered WWII he lobbied stubbornly to be transferred to a fighter squadron. This turned out to be quite the good choice as he was the first to match WWI ace Eddie Rickenbacker’s record of 26 kills, becoming the first “ace of aces” of WWII. After the end of the war, he continued to serve in the Air National Guard, later the Air Force, and would become both a Representative for and Governor of his home state of South Dakota. Not American enough? After serving as Governor, he would go on to be the Commissioner of the American Football League, host of ABC’s television series “The American Sportsman”, president of the NRA, as well as being a noted philanthropist.
