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?

When I went to Ranger School (ass 7-79) there was an RI Augmentee, SGM Jesse something. Don't remember his last name. He was a WW2 and Korea vet and wore the glider badge. Talked like a preacher and didn't have to act like a pick to get his point across.

Harold Dally was with 101st 527 glider group (I think 527 is correct) during WWII. Years ago I saw his badge and cap.

Yes, about 30 years ago when I was a 2LT. The soldier was pretty old

Only met one gentleman in DC at the WWII Memorial. He was wearing one. Speaking with him and where he served during WWII, I believe it was awarded to him. Thank you sir for your service.
