Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports

Last year, World War II veteran and Memphis Grizzlies fan Jimmy Keep received a signed jersey from forward Zach Randolph. Keep brought the jersey with him when he visited the island of Iwo Jima for the first time since the war.

On Veteran's Day on Wednesday, Keep presented Randolph with a photo from the trip.

The power forward was touched by the gesture.

"This made my heart jump out of my chest," Randolph said.
