Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

Just in photos. Gliders were done by the end of WWII. I've only met 1 glider pilot, in the late 80s. I'm only aware of 2 partial gliders still in existence. 1 at the 82nd airborne museum and 1 at the Yankee Airforce in Bellville Mi.

Yes at Davidson Army Airfield 1974. Second world war veteran.

had one NCO 10 years ago who had one he was in before Vietnam.

My father served in WWII in a Airborne Glider unit. HE retired as a CSM in 1982 and the mrdal he cherished the most were his glider wings.

The only person I know that was awarded a Glider Badge was a WW2 vet in a nursing home.

No

I was in ROTC and both of my cadre wore glider badge on both their uniform and their cover. one was an airborne troop and the other piloted a glider. I look up to both men as heros and mentors. I ended up serving 29 yrs ending up as an E-8.

The United States Air Force Academy has resurrected glider wings for cadets who instruct in the soaring program. The cadets are very proud of them for among other reasons, connects them to the past WWII veterans who flew gliders. I'm not sure if they can wear them after graduation?

No
