Have you ever seen anyone wearing a Glider badge?

Yes, but they were all WW2 vets from the 82nd and 101st...

Yes. I was sitting on a bench waiting to meet the 1SG on my very first day in the National Guard in 1986. The old Soldier sitting next to me was on his last days in the military. He was getting forced out as he was about to reach his 60th Birthday. I took note of the skill badges on his uniform. I did not recognize one. I knew what Airborne and Air Assault bagels looked like. In my ignorance I asked him what it was. He told me in a gravelly voice that it was a glider badge. He had lied about his age, joined the Army at 16, got dropped into Normandy and Holland in a glider. He had 44 years of service and was downright pissed off that they were kicking him out.

The only people authorized to where the glider badge are World War II veterans of he glider infantry regiments.

Yes! I have seen this award being worn. Mg Eugene a sole, president of Georgia Military College, wore this badge. General Saleh was Lieutenant RDL Murphy's Battalion commander in the 3rd Infantry Division during World War II. General Saleh wrote his Medal of Honor citation. So if you see an 80 year old man wearing a glider badge you're not looking at a poser you're looking at the real deal.

My high school JROTC instructor had it. He retired in ‘83.

If they are young and wearing one, they have low self esteem, no personal worth, fragile ego, no honor, and no integrity. Most of the ones I have seen, either have mental health issues, are lower IQ, or deeply want some pride. Most are not trying to get anything except recognition. I usually tell them I know they are fake and it is really disrespectful. Other than that I let it go.

WW II and phased out a LONG time ago

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.
