Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

Yep my father. A WWll veteran of 101st airborne

My gramps had one from D-day. Did they issue them after the war?

My Dad (RIP) was in the Glider troops (WW II). I have his badge and patch (gold unicorn)

I know the discussion is badges. I seem to remember troops wearing the glider patch during my time in the late 60s.

A docent named Jim at the Udvar-Hazy Center (the Smithsonian's Air 7 Space Museum Annex in Northern Virginia) wears one to honor his late father who "flew"/crash-landed a glider at Normandy during the D-Day landings. That's as close as I have come to seeing one who actually earned it wearing it.

Yes. My uncle, he got one about late 40's. They really only gave very few of them. It was shut down about 1960.

My CSM many years back had glider wings. He was a Korean War vet. He retired from the Army National Guard with 42 years and of service.

I had one in 1972 when I was asigned to 101st Abn 3/187th.

Yes, I've met a few of the HEROES from D-Day that earned the "Glider Badge"

There is also a "glider Pilot" badge for USAFA and ROTC Cadets, they earn it as part of the program to select pilots. NEVER WORN on the USAF (or other service branch) uniform, only while in Cadet Status.

Another very rare medal that posers wear are the service medals for non-combat heroism they are so rare and posers wear them all the time. The only person I know who had one was JFK for saving his crew on PT-109.
