Yes I have seen a glider badge. My good Friend David Hall trained in Lumberton NC and flew a glider into Normandy. He was a Chief Master Sergeant and retired as a major. He passed away a few months ago at 95. A great American and war hero. I will miss you Dave.

No never. Not even a WWII guy. Worked at VA in Dallas for long time. Never saw one.

I was with 82nd from 1975 to 1977, but do not recall seeing any. Maybe possible at that time, but highly unlikely

In 91 a local Kiwanis club arranged for a national guard aviation unit to send a blackhawk helicopter and land on the memorial grounds. Everyone wanted to talk to the pilots, they were interested in talking to the two glider pilots from WW11.

Anyone I meet who really earned one I will stand and render a salute whatever rank he holds.
