PFC Michael Dalere

“Private First Class Michael Dalere. 22. 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kansas. I listen to pretty much anything that’s heavy metal. But this is one of the biggest songs I listen to when I am out there. It’s by a group called Hollywood Undead. It’s called Undead. It gets me pumped. I’ll always remember my buddy who got killed, you know what I’m saying. I still think about it all the time, you know. Just how young he was. You know, he had kids and stuff like that. You never think someone who know until it happens. People say you get over it, but I don’t think you get over it. You never get over having a friend getting killed while trying to better another country. I don’t think you get over it. Every time I listen to it, I’ll probably go into PTSD shock or something like that. A little epileptic seizure of Iraq. My wife will have to call mental health on me, send me away for a couple days.”
