Sports fans, please never forget what Bob Kalsu gave this country. He was the real deal regardless of your feelings toward politics and war. A person of worth gave of himself in a way that canot be matched. One of the men and women that suffered the extreme sacrifice for his beliefs in this Nation.
 
Robert Kalsu,, played football at the University of Oklahoma.  He went on to play in the National Football League for the Buffalo Bills.  Kalsu served his country in the United States Army and was killed-in-action in the Viet Nam war. He was the only NFL player to lose his life in that war.

 

Robert Kalsu, thank you.
