Award Yogi Berra The Presidential Medal of Freedom for his military service and civil rights and educational activism.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Award Yogi Berra The Presidential Medal of Freedom for his military service and civil rights and educational activism.
Yogi Berra should be awarded 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 is currently an ambassador for Athlete Ally, which promotes LGBT rights in sports. Berra enlisted in the U. S. Navy during World War Il and served during the D-Day invasion. He continues to be an avid supporter of our armed forces. Berra greatly values 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.

THANK YOU FOR VOTING FOR YOGI…

Yogi needs 100,000 votes….Please tell all your family and friends to vote!

    I voted as well when the petition was first brought about. I met Yogi once (as you can see from my profile pic) and he is one of the most humble and genuine human beings I've ever been around.
