A petition had been started to award Yogi Berra the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "A man of unimpeachable integrity and respect, he befriended the first black and Latino baseball players in Major League Baseball. He was an ambassador for Athlete Ally, which promotes LGBT rights in sports. Berra enlisted in the U. S. Navy during World War II and served during the D-Day invasion. He was an avid supporter of our armed forces. Berra greatly valued education. While with the Yankees, he created a scholarship at Columbia University that is still active 50 years later. His namesake Museum & Learning Center serves 20,000 students annually with character education programs and teaches the values of respect, sportsmanship and inclusion that Berra has demonstrated throughout his life and career."
