On July 21, 1970, the Bills’ lineman became the only professional football player to bekilled in Vietnam (Note: In 2001, after this article was written, it was discovered thatanother NFL player - Don Steinbrunner, who played for the Cleveland Browns in the1950s - was also killed in Vietnam). Details of his death came from the lips of a teary-eyedformer soldier who saw Lieutenant Kalsu fall while helping defend something calledRipcord Base on an isolated jungle mountaintop near the Ashau Valley.All through his high school and college days, footballwas a big part of Kalsu’s life. So was the ROTC —Reserved Officers Training Corp. But the biggest partof Kalsu’s life was his sweetheart, Jan, who he marriedthe day after his final college game in the OrangeBowl. The Bills selected him in the eighth round of the‘68 college draft — after such not-so-notables as PeteRichardson, a defensive back from Dayton, runningback Max Anderson of Arizona State and Mike McBath,a defensive end from Penn State. With the exception offirst-round selection Haven Moses of San Diego State,the Buffalo draft list read like a roll call from the Societyof Unknown Nobodies.But Kalsu quickly became somebody in his first AFLseason by earning the team’s Rookie of the Year awardwith his stellar play at guard. Sadly it would be his finalseason of football. His wife had recently given birth to adaughter, Jill, and the future appeared bright. Butfollowing the ‘68 season, Kalsu began fulfilling hisROTC obligation with the United States Army and inNovember 1969, he received his orders to go toVietnam. He probably could have used politics toremain at home, but Kalsu said no. After six months in Vietnam, 1st Lieutenant Bob Kalsuleft his 11th Artillery unit of the 101st Airborne Division for a week of R&R in Hawaii. Therehe was reunited with Jan, who was now pregnant with their second child. Most of thisinformation was recorded in newspaper articles — articles I never knew existed beforewatching last week’s riveting television piece. But while the written words put a lump in mythroat, the spoken words induced tears that flowed freely from my eyes. I sobbed whenJan told of the day she received word of her husband’s death as she lay in her hospitalbed after giving birth to her son, Bob Jr.I sniffled when the young Bob revealed he had heard his father’s voice asking him tohave the first dance with his sister on her wedding day. And I cried when Bob Jr. relayedhow he saw his father sitting and smiling as he and Jill moved gracefully about the dancefloor. But when all was said and done, I probably felt worse about myself for never havingknown Bob Kalsu had even existed.LANGUAGE ARTSDetroit Lions Edition 39 Pro Football Hall of Fame Educational Outreach Program
Football in the FallIt’s That Time of Year Again, The One We All EnjoyWhen others see the season fall,Some comment on the colors all.The players all are in a clan,And I am one, the biggest fan.I hear the roar and crowds galore,For football plays and so much more.I hear the calls,I see the snap,LANGUAGE ARTSA small brown ball is all it takes,To get my blood to move and shake.Each down and play will have its day,When we begin the season play.Sometimes it rains,The quarterback will call a trap.My mom, my dad, my siblings all,Anticipate the start of fall.Sometimes it snows,It doesn’t matter to that fan,He isn’t seeking out a tan.Pro Football Hall of Fame Educational Outreach Program 40 Detroit Lions Edition
