Bob Kalsu

Bob Kalsu was the only professional football player to be killed while serving in the US Military during the Vietnam War (although not the only player to serve). Kalsu had played one year for the Buffalo Bills, then in the American Football League, before being sent to Vietnam. Kalsu's story first gained large attention in the media through a piece produced by NFL Films in 1999.
