Never Forget On Memorial Day: The Story of Bob Kalsu

((HT: ESPN/NFL Films))

The HQ has seen people wish for it to be a happy holiday today and, having family who served in WWII and Korea, who wanted to serve in Vietnam but were too old, we fail to see it as such...

It's a day to remember, be reverent, and never forget why we are a part of the greatest political experiment in the history of this or any other planet.

To remember the day, we choose to re-tell the story of the only active professional football player to die in combat- Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Bob Kalsu


We fail to see why veterans are treated as shabbily as they are and we also fail to see the profound lack of respect they're shown at times as well. It disappoints, but sadly, it's part of our dynamic.

All the HQ asks is that: When you see a vet, someone who is serving, has served, or any of their families give them thanks.

We wouldn't be here without them...and we don't think that's hard to do...

OSG Remembers Memorial Day

Admittedly, we were trying to figure out the proper way to remember those who are serving, have served, and have lost their lives keeping the republic free for over 236 years...

There are stories we could tell about our own families and how there is no way in hell any of us on staff could ever measure up to what they did in their times.

But the HQ has decided to remind us all through the story of someone we should all know about...

Remember... and never forget...
