Happy 237th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps
Today
in 1775, Captain Samuel Nicholas (USMC) formed two battalions of
Marines in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on orders from the 2nd Continental
Congress. Since this date, the United States Marine Corp has served our
country following their core values of Honor, Courage & Commitment
by always maintaining the motto “Semper Fidelis” (Always Faithful)
throughout their illustrious history.
Each
year on November 10th, Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy.com,
presents a birthday tribute to the Marine Corps. Please take a moment
to view this year's tribute: USMC 237th BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE 2012
This year, in addition to the annual birthday tribute, GoDaddy is partnering with the SEMPER FI FUND to raise money to help critically ill and injured members of all of the United States Armed Forces and their families. The Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation and GoDaddy.com will match up to $1 million in donations.
The Semper Fi Fund is a nonprofit organization providing financial support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families during times of hospitalization and recovery, as well as assistance for those with ongoing medical needs.
The Semper Fi Fund works directly with American heroes who have
sacrificed much for our country. Their injuries are often severe, and
the path to recovery or rehabilitation can be long and costly. When
these members of the Armed Forces are hospitalized and receiving
treatment, the related medical costs can be staggering. Additionally,
these situations can cause other costs to grow quickly, such as time off
of work, childcare, plane fare, and other travel expenses. These heroes
deserve the best care and support we can offer in their time of need.
Your donation – no matter how large or small – makes a huge
difference. It helps the Semper Fi Fund provide service member and
family support, specialized & adaptive equipment, adaptive housing,
adaptive transportation, education and career transition assistance,
PTSD and TBI support, and so much more.
You have the power to make a difference. Help GoDaddy help those heroes who've given so much for our freedom. Click HERE to donate.
Semper Fi to THE FEW, THE PROUD!
