Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

SFC Gaynerd Strand. Retired from the 11th SFG(A) in 88? 89? He was in 82nd in 49? 50? and went through Glider training.

not in a real long time

None that i can ever recall

My Pop was awarded this in Southern France during the Big One in 44.

I met one, a WW2 82nd ABN DIV vet I met. Awesome guy.

Yes, it was during the 50th anniversary of D-Day back in '94. He was a spry young man who was in his mid seventies at the time

Not after WWII, perhaps shortly after...no gliders in Korea or Vietnam as far as I know, so anyone wearing the badge would either be a (very young during War II) very long service veteran. I met a retired LTC with the glider badge, master parachutist, pilot and half a dozen sets of wings from other countries- he had wings from jumping with the FFL in the mid-60s... serious badass

Glider Badge is no longer authorize. The badge was part of the 101st Airborne unit in WII.

They have not done that since Normandy

Just some WW2 vets including my uncle
