As a co- pilot in their plane, Full House, he and his crew bombed sites in Europe including Belgium, France and Germany. His war was in Europe. He describes how it feels to have German fire coming from an FW-190. He finished his tour in Europe in 35 missions and 231.30 hours. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and five air medals. His story is not only of combat in Europe, but Keeler, after being called up in the reserves to serve in Korea, stayed on and in the peacetime years he flew B-57s and a variety of other planes and served a tour of duty in Vietnam.
