Lance Corporal Keegan Thomas Allen is brought home

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Today was a day of somberness and celebration of life for the Allen family as fellow veterans and military supporters welcomed 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Keegan Thomas Allen home after he passed away in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Allen, a Marine from Oakland, Kentucky, was brought to the Hardy & Son Funeral Home, where veterans, Guardians of The Children, Mission BBQ and members of the Bowling Green Fire Department waited for Allen’s procession.

We spoke to Malcom Cherry, commander on Bowling Green’s American Legion, who said regardless of branch, we’ve lost a brother today.

Allen’s visitation will be Saturday, Sept. 21 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22, with the funeral starting shortly after.
