Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military.
In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the 761st tank battalion, also known as the Black Panthers.
A year later, after Robinson boarded an Army bus, the driver asked him to retreat to the back. Robinson refused -- more than a decade before Rosa Parks. Robinson was court martialed and later acquitted.
He spent the rest of his military service at Camp Breckinridge, where he coached Army athletics teams. Robinson was honorably discharged in November 1944.
I have written up my thoughts on my perspective and decisions regarding The FFXIV World Race and it's future:

Not everyone will be happy, but I think this is the best way forward.
For the FFXIV World Race, we will be looking for community contributions and sponsors to provide incentives for the event race winners and incentives for people to donate to children's hospitals.
Feel free to reach out if you have something you'd want to provide!
I'm sorry, I got too excited @CORSAIR - thankfully you make amazingly durable headsets.

The Miami Marlins have clinched a berth in the 2023 MLB Postseason. It is their first postseason appearance in a full 162 game season since 2003. They did it.
The Marlins today won their 80th game of the season for the first time since 2010 (80-82).
The Marlins now have 45 wins at loanDepot park in 2023, marking the club's most wins at home since 2008 and just the 8th time in franchise history they have reached 45 wins at home.
