The workout honors 1st Lt. James Robert Kalsu, 11th Artillery Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army, who died in action on July 21, 1970 in the Ashau Valley in Vietnam.  A mortar salvo blast killed both Kalsu and his good friend, SGT David Earl Johnson. Kalsu was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service in a combat zone and the Purple Heart. He was 25 years old. Today he rests in Resthaven Gardens Cemetery, Oklahoma City and is memorialized on the Vietnam Wall at Panel W8, Line 38. Kalsu was also an All-American offensive tackle in the National Football League, playing with the Buffalo Bills for one season. He declined a deferment offer to continue playing professional football, and instead decided to serve his country in the Vietnam War.
