Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

When I was a 2 LT in the 82hd Ann Division in 1967 I saw several on very senior WW II veteran NCOs. They had served in the 325 Glider Infantry during that war.

Never heard of it, but I can guess what it is. I'm going to have to get me one of those for my bogus display cabinet.

I believe the late senator Storm Thurman, was a glider pilot in WW2, I read once he lived to be at least 100 years old and in his mid to late 40s during the war

Great story . Would love to find a Glider badge

Only man I knew to wear them was the late CW4 Darrell Barber. He served in Vietnam with Special Forces and the 173rd. I have an unopened glider wing amongst some of my gear. Don't know how I came by them. Part of military history long gone.

Yes, my dad. He was with the 11th Airborne Div. back in 1946 in Japan.

When I was in Martin Army Hospital from VN wounds, an Army Sgt. interviewed me about equipment overseas. He was wearing a glider badge on his uniform. This was in 1969 & he was a senior sgt.

Back when I first joined a few were still around 1970

That's to easy NOBODY Serving Today can wear one, the last folks to earn and wear them served during WWII. You will only see them on WWII vets, in murals about WWII and in museums. Not counting sales of reproductions. Some time back I had a picture of my dad with his Jump Wings and a buddy of his that was in the 325 GIR. that's the last guy I saw wearing them other than vets that visited during ALL AMERICAN Week down at Brag in the 70's.

Yes, as a boy I got to visit with a couple friends of Paul Dovhaluks who were WWII ,101st veterans that were both Glider and Airborne qualified who had their badges on their uniforms.
