My column for the Tuesday Oklahoman centered on the 50th anniversary of Bob Kalsu’s death. Maybe you read it.
Kalsu was a Del City kid who became an all-American tackle at OU in 1967, became a rookie starter for the 1968 Buffalo Bills and then chose not to seek a deferment from his ROTC military commitment and accepted an assignment to Vietnam. He was killed by North Vietnamese mortar fire on July 21, 1970.
The story was a hit with readers. I knew it would be. You can’t miss with Bob Kalsu. You can’t miss with honor and valor.
