Robert E. Hannan Jr. was born at Alliance, Ohio; his home was South Bend. A technical sergeant in the Army Air Forces, he was a gunner on a bomber of the Far East Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific, and he was killed on 12 October 1943. His Silver Star was awarded posthumously under Headquarters, Far East Air Forces, General Orders No. 54 of 7 July 1944. The entry prints at the register's size: the Hall of Valor carries his award as a synopsis only, its full citation text not published there, and this section does not reconstruct a citation it has not read. He is buried in Marietta National Cemetery, Georgia.
