Former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Joe "Brown Bomber" Louis enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942 at the height of his career and served until 1945. He achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant (Technical Sergeant) and received the Legion of Merit in 1945 for his significant contributions to troop morale during World War II. The citation noted he risked his boxing future by frequently fighting exhibitions.
Louis, serving in a segregated unit alongside Jackie Robinson, used his status to advocate for African American soldiers. According to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, he helped desegregate army buses and paved the way for African Americans to integrate military sports and achieve higher ranks.
