Kieran Michael Lalor is an American politician, entrepreneur and author who founded Iraq Vets for Congress (a political action committee). He works in the defense industry, and is a former social studies teacher, and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War. Lalor is a member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 105th district. Lalor was the Republican candidate in New York's 19th congressional district election of 2008, but lost to incumbent John Hall. Lalor is a resident of Fishkill, New York. In November 2010 Lalor published a book about Marine Corps boot camp called, ''This Recruit: A First Hand Account of Marine Corps Boot Camp Written While Knee Deep in Mayhem''. Beginning with his trip to the recruiting office, Lalor kept a journal. As he did not have any writing implements the first few days on Parris Island he memorized the important events by constantly recalling them in chronological order before bed and as soon as he woke up. When he was finally issued pen and paper he wrote down everything he could remember about the dizzying first days on the island and mailed the entries home. For the rest of boot camp Lalor's entries were written at night in the barracks under his blanket using a flashlight. Each morning he mailed the entries home for safe-keeping. ==Early career and background== Lalor was born in Wappingers Falls, New York, and graduated from Providence College. He then worked as a Social Studies teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes High School in nearby Poughkeepsie. Lalor enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in July 2000 and thereafter served as a U.S. Marine Corp reservist.〔"()".
