Remembering the NFL's fallen soldiers

 

Memorial Day provides an opportunity to remember Pat Tillman, Bob Kalsu, Don Steinbrunner and the NFL's 23 players, coaches and executives who gave their lives during World War II. Tillman's death remains in the news. Kalsu, formerly of the Bills, and Stenbrunner, formerly of the Browns, died during the Vietnam War. The Pro Football Hall of Fame honors these men by listing their names and providing details about their deaths on this tribute page.

Incorect. You were trying to make a joke in a thread about a former Bills player who died serving his country, on a day where you are supposed to remember those who give their lives to protect your freedom.... And failed miserably. :oops:

 

Why don't you run along and tell some more "jokes" in the thread about childhood cancer. (It went over so well the first time...)
