He might not be that famous by name, actually, but as the founder of GoDaddy.com Bob Parsons has probably had a bigger impact on the Internet than any other Marine. In just a few years GoDaddy has become the biggest domain registrar in the world, three times as big as its nearest competitor.

As a former Marine, Vietnam vet, Purple Heart recipient, and IT entrepreneur, I thought he’d make a perfect person to highlight during Project Valour-IT. On top of that, his company assembles an electronic Marine Corps birthday card every year. They haven’t put the 2009 card up yet (I reckon that will be out on Nov 10th), so instead I’m putting up a link to last year’s card.

I think I’ll see if I can contact him personally for a donation to Project Valour-IT. Wish me luck!  ;)

Edit: couldn’t find a contact for him, but did find the GoDaddy Cares charitable request form, which I’ve submitted. Cross yer fingers, and please consider donating yourself if you haven’t already. Thanks!
