US glider cap

This was given to me by my neighbor, a 506 PIR Co E vet. It wasn’t his as he was a paratrooper, he didn’t recall how/when he got it.

Guess it may have come from a 321 or 377 glider artillery regiment veteran as they were part of 101st. Nice gift and from a Easy vet too. Doesn't get much better than that.

This is a nice enlisted mans' cap.. The glider/paratrooper insignia on the left side of the cap indicates an enlisted Soldier. The piping would indicate someone assigned to a field artillery unit, either airborne or glider Field artillery..

The glider is a "fat body variation" and the risers are the thick type risers.. There are lots of variations of the glider patch, and this is one of them..
