U.S. Army Capt. Bill Malcom is a Paratrooper assigned to the “Able” Company, 1-508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. His grandfather Cpl. Bob Malcom jumped into Normandy as a member of “Able” Company during D-Day 78 years ago as part of Operation Overlord on June 6, 1944. Not only did Bill follow his grandfather’s footsteps into military service, he actually commands the very unit his grandfather served in during World War II. This is a sneak preview of this incredible story of legacy and service as Capt. Malcom comes to Normandy to pay homage to his late Grandfather.
