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?

The 82nd rode gliders in WWII. That badge probably hasn't been earned in a long time,

I’ve seen this up here many times and always managed to bite my tongue.

Jesus, forgive me for i’m a sinner and a weak man...

I thought i saw a glider badge once but on closer examination i saw it was one of the propeller-beanie badges they give the 101st as a participation trophy.

I’m going straight to hell...

I have never seen anyone wear it. My father was a medic and they wanted to assign him to a glider unit for Normandy invasion. High casualty rates on landings.
