James Megellas, affectionately known as "Maggie," led the H-Company of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment through some of the most horrific battles and deadliest missions of World War II, including the Battle of the Bulge. Seven decades later, cameras follow Megellas on an emotional return to Europe with a small group of family, friends and 82nd Airborne veterans.
