I know nothing about this veteran of three wars, except that the symbol on his marker identifies him as a Methodist. If this is your family member, I would be happy to transfer this memorial to you, so that you can enter a bio and maintain this page. Otherwise, if you know anything about this noble soul that should be listed here, please let me know.

Married high school sweetheart, Augusta native Glennis Virginia Boucher, at the Augusta Methodist Church in November 1942. Enlisted in Army Air Corps in 1943, trained as a C-47 pilot.

Loving Father to children: Marjorie, Peggy, Dennis, Douglas. 8 Grandchildren, 9 Great-Grandchildren.
(Note: Lt. Col. Allison originally was buried at Riverside National Cemetery in 2003, a great honor. In 2018, when Glennis passed on, her last request was to bring her husband "home" so they could be together forever in the town they met and married in. Inurned in 2018 at Elmwood Cemetery, Augusta, Kansas (Memorial ID 209951778), they rest together among dozens of other family members.)
