Words have a very small meaning coming from someone who knew only a fraction of who Harry was. Such is my case. All I really knew from the time I met Harry was that he Loved his daughters, Cared so very much about Liz's boys, and Loved Liz. We had few conversations about work, about his Military career and about him coming out and playing soccer with my team once his Achilles was better. He was extremely nice with my kids and with my Wife and I. The only thing that I wish would have gone different, and perhaps it would have made a difference between him being here today, is that I sincerely wish that we could of helped him deal with his "DEMONS". I know that when this tragedy occured, It was not Harry behind that Gun, It was one of his Demons. Rest in peace Hooch, I will always remember you as The Hooch I met During Christmas, Playing around with your Daughters, With Liz's Boys, and My boys. May you be in Peace, I know you finally conquered your fears. God bless.

I first met Harry in 2nd grade, and we were good friends through the end of high school. I agree completely here, Harry earned everyone's respect, he was a great kid growing up, and knew where he wanted to go in life. We lost touch over the years, but he will never be forgotten. My prayers to his family. Godspeed Harry.

I met Harry in first grade, that picture is posted on my Facebook page. We continued through Grammar school together , Holy Family in Hicksville and then through high school together, Holy Trinity. The greatest thing about him was he was always a gentle soul with never a bad word to say about anyone. He had a great smile and made everyone who knew him glad that they had the privledge to.

Harry was kind, funny and loyal. I went to school with him for eight years and we had some really, really fun times. My heart goes out to his family, and his dear friends. Thank you, Harry, and everyone in uniform, for what you do for all of us every day. It is not forgotten, it is awe inspiring and it is humbling. We owe you a debt we can only repay by being proud and involved Americans.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Meyers family. Reading what Dennis wrote about Harry and growing up in Levittown really struck a nerve. I grew up 4 houses down from Harry. We were in cub scouts, LAC Baseball and ran track all through grammar school. As sometimes happens, we ended up traveling in different circles in High school but you never forget the people who you grew up with, back when life was uncomplicated and you could just be kids. Harry achieved so much in life. His family and friends and the memories they have of him will be his legacy. Rest In Peace Harry.

Harry. We spent 12 formative years together. What happened? You quietly showed the world in so many ways who you are/were. It's a shame no one will know/believe the truth of what was going on in your mind on 9/13. I pray for your family that you left behind.

To the family and friends of Harry "Hooch" Meyers; I am so sorry for your loss! I served with Harry from 1999-2001 flying Prowlers at Whidbey Island and combat in Norther Iraq. It was great to "Fly, Fight and Win" with Harry (Hooch). If had to pick one man to plan and fly a combat mission with, then it would be Lieutenant Colonel Harry Meyers. If you are unfortunately an enemy of the United States, and Harry Meyers was assigned on a mission against you, then prepare for the worst; because Harry Meyers is bringing the fight to you perniciously hard, fast, and with deadly accuracy. All who live in the land of the free owe a bit of gratitude to this Hero. As in the Tina Turner song; Harry was "Simply the Best". All those medals on his chest were earned for endless selfless service and sacrafice to our nation. Having just returned from Afghanistan myself, I won't be able to make it to the funeral. Please send me the location of his final resting place([email protected]), so that I can pay my respects at a later time. Sincerely, Lt Col Todd Callahan,
Dennis and Georgianne Asher

I still think of you as the cutest and lovable little guy I babysat for at times. I especially remember the aspirin and milk for your "headache", never could figure out where that one came from . May all your headaches be over and may you find peace now and forever. I will try to help your Mom and Dad and the rest of the family get through this Love always to a great nephew. Aunt Janice

I met Harry in December of 1979 at Holy Trinity High School in the wrestling room. He had a smile on his face no matter how hot the room got or how hard he worked. He never stopped moving and never gave up on the mat. He was like a machine. Every guy on the team loved him and couldnt wait to watch him wrestle. We always knew the other guy didnt know what he was in for when Harry stepped onto the mat for a match. By sophmore year he was a force to be dealt with. Junior year he was the guy opponents all feared and didnt want to wrestle. A true champion. It was clear then the Harry was going to be a successful person in life. He was driven both on the mats and in the classroom. A true American hero RIP Gene Isnardi NYPD (ret) Holy Trinity

I knew Harry from when we both were very young, and then through grammar school and high school. I can honestly say that he was always a gentleman, a hard worker, and the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. Even as a kid he was a leader, and always "set the example," even when he thought no one was looking. My prayers and condolences go out to the entire Meyers family. God bless you all.

Reading this story makes me realize that Our Country has lost one of our greatest heroes ever. Although I did not know Lt. Colonel Harold Myers I have the greatest respect for him. I served in Viet Nam as a United States Marine and I salute “Hootch” as a superior warrior and a protector of our freedom. His sacrifice to our Country should make each and everyone of us proud to be Americans.

Dear Aunt Ceil & Uncle Harry, 9/22/2010 05:46:55 am
With heartfelt sorrow for the family, I would like you to continue to be proud of Harold - he remained unselfish at the peril of his own life. He was an honorable man. Even foreign countries have written about his missions, his patriotism and all of you (pretty much) have to follow in his footsteps - sure it won't be easy (like his lovely daughter Jessica). A collective prayer for all of you to catch a film I just saw yesterday with Javier Bardem (Mare adentro) The sea within a man. It will show you that there is nobility, pride, respect and honor in death too. Not an easy concept to follow, and it's normal that it remains painful, but your understanding will get closer to Harold's point of view. May the good Lord give you guidance to do what is best for you in these difficult times. 9/22/2010 05:51:32 am
I have another comment (yet from another film - this time "Saving private Ryan", the quote goes:

I am proud to be related to Harry Meyers. As my younger cousin, I vividly remember him as being polite and happy. This positive demeanor was enhanced because the majority of the times I encountered him growing-up he was visiting his grandparents in Brooklyn or on the “Jersey Shore.” Wonderful times and people! My sisters always viewed him the same way: respectful, pleasant and kind.

I am so sorry for your loss. As you know my dad served in Vietnam. I have always never understood how a person can be as brave and honorable as a soldier. You must be so proud of all of your children and I hope (don't really pray anymore) but I do hope and wish and believe that good people go to good places when they leave us. Harrry was a person of honor. Your family has always been a kind family. Gregory was one of my first friends. Stay strong. The Hipp family is thinking of you.

Don't worry, you have a real Guardian Angel watching over you. Your Dad is by your side every step of the way. My Father (Retired DC FDNY 1980) died in 2002 (4 Months after 9/11/01), he suffered terribly with Alzheimers the last two years of his life. I was always the "Pain-in-the-neck as far as the family went. One of his staunch Irish sayings was "If you take God out of your life, you'll let the devil in". I miss our philosophical Sunday discussions but I know in my heart, that he is right by my side, especially when I'm going down a dirty , smokey hallway. You have a Guardian Angel in your Dad too. Keep smiling and stay directed, that's what he wants for you!

It has been over 20 years since Harry and I met at the 'Cuse. Even then I knew he was destined for greatness. It does not surprise me that he served our country so well and decorated. We lost touch since our days at the 'Cuse but he was not forgotten. You will be missed!

On the anniversary of two related tragedies, I wanted to reach out to Harry's family. I only recently heard of Harry's tragic death. I knew Harry at Syracuse and my (now) husband was is RA his sophomore year. I saw the notice in the alumni bulletin and hoped it wasn't the Harold Meyers I knew. But when I found this site and saw the black/white silhouetted photo on Jessica's page, I couldn't deny it any longer. That same photo is in my college albums. I am so grateful that his family created this site. I remember Harry as a dedicated, driven, passionate, athletic artistic, fun person. While we lost touch after sophomore year, I am not surprised to see so many of those traits woven through the remembrances of family and friends in the tributes above. Harry was a great friend then and became an equally remarkable soldier, father and husband. My prayers go out to those he left behind.

Well one year has passed and I miss you very much. My boys still ask everyday about their idol and hero; Uncle Harry! You were a great man who squeezed a lifetime into 43 years, your adventures in defending this nation will be remember and proudly told to many generations. Rest in peace brother and know that you are missed and loved!

Much time has passed since that ol' blue Pinto wagon cranked tunes in the Trinity parking lot. Back then Harry devoted hours to wrestling. The only guy I will ever know to wear out a weight bench. He was a nature athlete. And Fun. Whatever he did he put his whole self into, nothing short of 100%. I am glad that he accomplished in life and served his country. I am very sorry for the loss of the many that loved him, and the loss to those whom he would have known. A great guy.

I knew Harry at Syracuse, we were freshmen together on the same floor and were friends while I was there. We both came from tough military families and wrestled and we used to talk about becoming astronauts. I remember he had a girlfriend that used to come to visit and he would suddenly be nowhere to be found until she left. I have a couple of pictures of us doing shots and horsing around in Lawrinson Hall. Rest in Peace old buddy. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
