#4 I've been a Joe Foss fan since I first read about his WWII exploits when I was 10 years old. As an adult, I've always marveled at what a full and interesting life he has lead. I thought the NFL treated him rather shabbily when I read some years ago that they couldn't be bothered to "comp" him some tickets to the Super Bowl but his attitude was "who cares?" I mean, how cool is that? Tom Brokaw interviewed him for a "Greatest Generation" bit and even though he was around 80 years old at the time, he was as cool as Robert Mitchum in his prime. And he always had great hair! God Speed Joe Foss!
