graduate Robert A. Hanna entered the US Army in November of 1942. He was deployed to the European Theater French Campaign in the 29th Infantry division and saw action as part of Operation Overload. On June 13th, 1944 on the beach at Normandy his entire platoon was pinned down by the enemy in an open field. Despite being twice wounded himself, he did not hesitate to go to the assistance of his fellows and only only halted his efforts to help when he lost consciousness due to pain and loss of blood. For his gallantry in battle, S. Sgt. Hanna was awarded the Silver Star and received a Purple Heart for his wounds in action. Robert Hanna's service continued through the Korean conflict where as a first Lieutenant in the 74th Engineer Combat Battalion he was awarded a Bronze Star for Meritorious Service. He was again wounded in Korea, recieving a Purple Heart (though due to his reluctance to discuss his experiences during his lifetime and the destruction of relevant military records, the details of this wound are not clear). In 1955 Robert Hanna was promoted to the rank of Captain. He retired from service in October of 1962. After leaving the military, Robert Hanna returned to his home in Joppa Maryland where he worked for the State Highway Administration and raised 5 children along with his wife Edna.
