James Gillem of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 307th Brigade Support Battalion, prior to an airborne training operation Dec. 1, 2010, at Fort Bragg, N.C. Enlisting in 1992, Heyliger knew little about the World War II exploits of his paratrooper grandfather, 1st Lt. Frederick “Moose” Heyliger, until he read Stephen Ambrose’s book, Band of Brothers.
