During the biggest seaborne invasion in U.S. history on June 6, 1944, Hacker provided gunnery support. His D-Day mission helped ensure the protection of cargo ships and operational ships.
According to his obituary, there will be a celebration of his life that will be held at noon at the Britton Funeral Home Chapel in Manchester, with a funeral to follow.
