When I was in the 101st, troops that were Airborne(jump school grads) were authorized to wear the Glider patch on their soft hats.

LTC Jason Mackay - That was my point, the cap patch only indicated the soldier was airborne
I agree with you both.

Jacqueem, I have not. I can only say that I worked with a gentleman who served in the 17th Airborne Division during WWII and he related to me that during that war he made a glider assault landing. He is deceased now, but I feel fortunate that I knew him and was honored when he gave me one of his division patches. which I still have.

Yes. My first battalion commander, COL Charles G. Ives, had one. We were in Korea together in 1966-67.
