Given the plane he flew, the odds (and quality of opposition) that he faced, and the very short time he achieved his scores at Guadalcanal, he may have been the very best of them all. to a true American hero!

Also, president of the NRA and NFL.

My son (6) and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Mr.Foss and would like to send the family of Joe (his widow if she is still with us) a couple of water color pictures we made last night in memory of Joe.
If anyone has a clue as to where we can send these so they make it to Joes family, please contact me Thank you.
