Actually, Yogi didn't 'storm the beaches' but, as this portion of his SABR bio states, he was there and that counts:
'After the season Berra enlisted in the navy. He became a machine gunner and saw action on D-Day aboard a rocket boat deployed just off the Normandy coast before the soldiers assaulted the beach. Berra spent ten days on the 36-foot boat before he finally returned to his ship, the USS Bayfield, an attack transport.'
