The Kingsville Navy League memorialized its annual scholarship by naming it after LTJG Michael Hahn, U.S. Navy (click on his name to view his picture).

LTJG Hahn grew up in Kingsville and sadly passed away in September of 1991 at a very young age. He graduated from H.M. King High School in Kingsville in 1984. He had a very successful college career and graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station in 1988 where he was a proud member of the Corps of Cadets. Upon graduation, Michael was commissioned an Ensign in the United States Navy. He earned his "Wings of Gold" in 1991 while stationed at NAS Meridian and was designated a Naval Aviator. Loving family and friends could not have been prouder of this young Kingsville man as his hard work allowed him to fulfill his childhood dream to be a Navy pilot, stemming from his experience as a young boy growing up in Kingsville, Texas, and watching the Navy jets fly overhead.

It is with great honor that the Kingsville Navy League is able to memorialize the life of LTJG Michael Hahn and the dedicated service he gave to our nation as he was only in the early stages of building on the legacy and traditions of Naval Aviation and its impact on the youth of the Kingsville community.

Congratulations to the previous recipients of the Hahn Memorial Scholarship.
