Yogi Berra’s experience in the Army was marked with prominence, as the Yankees player took part in the notorious D-Day. Serving in the US Navy, Berra was on the USS Bayfield, a support boat where he was a shooter during the infamous landing at Omaha Beach. As he declared, he had also been deployed at Utah Beach as well.

Luckily, he came back to the US and his family, but he was obliged to visit a treatment center due to being injured on the battlefield. He was eventually awarded a Purple Heart, among other medals.
