Russell Sage Hahn was married to Christiane J. Hahn., who was born in France in 1918 and was naturalized in 1947. Russell and Christiane were the parents of Robert R. Hahn, born 1948 in Washington, D.C. Russel has created a poignant and loving tribute website to his father, Colonel Hahn, at

Russell Hahn was a Colonel in the United States Army during WW2, the Korean War, and Vietnam. According to Army records, he served in the Army from Nov 1 1942 to Aug 31 1964. He earned the LEGION OF MERIT w/ OLC and a BRONZE STAR.
There seems to be some confusion about the dates of his service in the Army. Another record says that he enlisted in the Army on 8 Aug 1928 and was promoted to (at least) a Sergeant before WWII. He was promoted to Warrant Officer on 14 May 1942 and accepted a commission as Captain, AUS, on 1 Nov 1942.
Russell S. Hahn's grave was shown in the movie "The Presidio".

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
