(Don Wrote The Following Poem While In Vietnam)

Remember Me

Remember me when flowers bloom early in the Spring.
Remember me on sunny days in the fun that summer brings.
Remember me in the Fall as you walk through the leaves of gold.
And in the wintertime, remember me in the stories that are told.
But most of all, remember me each day, right from the start.
I will forever be near-For I live within your heart.

Donald L Keeter
Company A, 1/35th

Don is buried at Sharon Memorial Park, Charlotte, NC
