Good afternoon or good morning wherever you are from here. My names Matthew, Matt Detisch. You knew my father as "duwa". His name was Roy W Detisch Jr, former corporal in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. I regret to inform you that Roy passed away on December 4th last year. He spat in the face of death to the end and I encourage all of you to do the same.

Semper Fi, do or die.

Improvise, Overcome, Adapt
