I had very little time speaking with him via PM and him joining this site. At that time he was focused on a trip to Normandy, France.
He and Gary Dolan were inducted into the RHOF in 2011.
I think some of Keith's statements were used at end of movie, "We were soldiers once and young" where the US Flag was posted as Joe Gallory wrapped up his thoughts as movie closed.
Anyone recall ending of movie focused on US Flag.
