Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

I had a battalion commander who wore one from his service in WW2.

From what little I know from my father, a WWII vet who landed on DDay+1 and earned a Bronz Star, the Glider Badge was given in June 1944 for glider troops during D-Day. As far as he could remember there was only a few thousand issued. Probably you will not find many alive today who remember them.

Some 30 year men back when I joined
One was a career PFC back before up or out.
Worked in supply at Ft Knox. April 70.
First Sergeant also had one was a Ranger from DDay before you had to be airborne.
He was glider trained and two stars on it..

While stationed in the 9th ID at Ft. Lewis, WA in 1986, we had an old bugger in our Long Range Surveillance Company who wore a pair. He wore a glider badge & jump wings. That glider badge often had AR-670-1 Nazis & new LTs taking fits. Almost 40 years after earning & the guy was still jumping. The guy had combat jump wings & had the 187th Airborne patch on his right sleeve from the Korean War. He missed WW-II but had been in Korea & Vietnam.

Great uncle Sam had one, earned it the hardway

I knew two old warrant officers in the 1970s authorized to wear glider wings, WWII vets.

never saw one and I served in the late 70's early 80's

Is that fat guy mewherter?

Yes, my uncle, who was a WW2 101st veteran. None were issued after WW2, I believe.
