Ep. 279: The Fog of War and Humanity
Guest: Assistant Chief Michael V. Meyers, FDNY
Host: Richard Acritelli
Network: hmTv
In the powerful conclusion of this three-part conversation, Assistant Chief Michael V. Meyers of the FDNY returns to The Fog of War and Humanity with host Richard Acritelli for a deeply human reflection on the enduring legacy of 9/11 and a lifetime of service.
Chief Meyers opens up about the memories that still surface decades later—the friends lost, the funerals attended, and the haunting moments at Ground Zero. He honors fallen colleagues like his college roommate Derell “Bronco” Pearce, whose name lives on at LIU’s football field, and discusses how the FDNY rebuilt itself in the aftermath of unimaginable loss.
The episode moves from tragedy to resilience, exploring the department’s transformation since 9/11, the camaraderie of firefighters and military veterans, and the family legacy that spans more than a century of service. Meyers also shares the emotional realities behind the uniform—PTSD, healing, humor, and hope—and how today’s generation carries the torch of those who ran toward danger.
A conversation that reminds us why “never forget” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a responsibility.
🔥 Listen to Episode 279 of The Fog of War and Humanity on hmTv—real stories of courage, loss, and the strength to keep serving.
