Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

Yes I have. He was a Warrant officer that had served in special forces in Viet Nam.

Saw one in 1969.

Yes, my father was a W.W.II Glider Pilot. Went from being a "Flying Sergeant" to a "Flight Officer". My older brother had my dad's second lieutenant bars pinned on following his OCS graduation. I stayed enlisted.

no

No

Yes

Not during my 24 years of service since they, the Army no longer taught/trained this type of training since 1949 when classes were suspended.

I didn't think that the Glider Badger had been awarded since WW2

WWII vets who served in Airborne Units with Gliders are the most likely candidates to be seen wearing this badge. The badge was phased out of service with the development of airmobile- the precursor to Air Assault. You can still see the Glider symbol on the old service hat (the nickname started with a c...) worn by Soldiers in the 101st Abn Div and 82nd Abn, but that was phased out with the old Class A uniform. Doubtful there is anyone on Active Duty or in the National Guard who still is on duty that would have this badge.

My grandfather was a Glider Pilot in WWII. Not sure if he has the badge somewhere a lot of his medals were lost or stolen by family members.
