Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson not only changed the face of sports, but he also made an impact in the military. Back in 1942, Robinson was drafted to take part in a segregated calvary unit based in Kansas. Robinson went through the Officer Candidate School and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Despite serving in the military, Robinson faced a slew of racism and was transferred out of his original unit, court martialed, and eventually removed. He went on to make a huge impact in the baseball world.
