Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge? How many Soldiers could you ask before receiving the correct answer without the help of a search engine?

Saw it one time on an elderly gentleman at my fathers home town cafe! He was an awesome guy very mild mannered unfortunately after he passed was when the whole town actually found out about what he actually did during the war! God speed sir and thank you for your Generation and sacrifice!

Yes. I was a young Drill Sergeant and there was a Master Sergeant (very senior) in Range Control who had earned glider wings. I was CSM over a battalion (1/317th) that had been previously designated as part of the 317th Glider Infantry Regiment that was part of the 80th Division.

Yes, but probably only because my Father served in WWII and I was around military posts as a child.

Or get a T-shirt, jacket or something... As a parent, I'm in battle too and I like representing as I am a proud parent. You guys go to battle in the field, we go to battle on our knees, in prayer.

The 'Glider Badge' was awarded during WWII and only to those soldiers who were assigned to an airborne regiment specifically designated as a glider unit. Those units were the 88th, 187th, 188th, 325th, 326th, and 327th Glider Infantry Regiments.
