In the latest episode of Mental Health Monthly, Dan DeGryse and Chris Muscle sit down with John Walters III, retired FDNY firefighter, and former chief of the Port Washington (NY) Fire Department. During their discussion, the three explore the guest’s journey through devastating injury, personal loss, and rebuilding life after tragedy. Walters shares candid insights about the July 2006 accident that led to the loss of his right leg and severe challenges with his left, the emotional toll of divorce, and the complexities of parenting while adapting to his new reality. More than a story of hardship, his message focuses on resilience, peer support, and the strength found in connection. From navigating hospital stays and phantom pain to finding purpose with organizations like Sons of the Flag, Walters embodies how to face adversity head-on without letting it define his identity.
