  • On this special weekend, and always, we should honor all of our veterans. Bob Kalsu was very special, as were many before him, and since. God Bless all of our veterans.

  • For some reason the video has his last name spelled incorrectly, but a very touching story.

  • Great Thread...

    I shaded his name on the Vietnam Wall a few years ago. Bob needs to be remembered.

    Thanks for posting.

  • Was lucky enough to know Kalsu as a highschool kid and even then he was so special as a person and had that big smile for anyone he met. I'll certainly never forget Bob Kalsu!

  • great thread, i always thought the mainstream media didnt do justice to the Kalsu story, but i understand now, everywhere people have lost loved ones, and this weekend is certainly for cookouts and kids and stuff, but also those deep memories. my dad passed away last year, and i have his bronze medal and ww2 and korea stuff on a "family" wall proudly.

    and proudly support OU and ALL who have served. thanks for the reminder again of Kalsu.
