I\u2019m <a href=\"~\/en-us\/about\/bob-parsons-founder\">Bob Parsons<\/a>, and I\u2019m proud to be a U.S. Marine and a Vietnam veteran. I founded GoDaddy.com, Parsons Xtreme Golf and Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m joined here today by an incredible group of veterans and active duty U.S. Marines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This November 10th marks the 243rd birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps, followed by Veterans Day on November 11th. As a tribute to these special dates, we\u2019ve created a video to celebrate the men and women who defend this great country of ours. We\u2019re also partnering with the Semper Fi Fund to provide financial support for wounded, critically ill and injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Last year, with your help, we raised more than $20 million dollars. We\u2019d like to do even better this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So, here\u2019s how it works: Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/semperfifund.org\/match\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SemperFiFund.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give what you can and The Bob &amp; Renee Parsons Foundation will match your donation dollar-for-dollar up to $10 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together we can raise up to and beyond $20 million dollars to help the <a href=\"~\/programs\/pxg-for-heroes\">heroes<\/a> and their families who have sacrificed so much for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now enjoy our annual birthday salute to the United States Marine Corps.
