Thanks for the tribute and thanks for your service. As a founding member of the Mesa Veterans Parade Association, we would be honored to have your involvement in the 2010 Veterans Day Parade (and beyond). We already have plenty of older vets with attitude on board, but could sure use one with some excellent business sense and connections around town.
Thanks for the other vblogs too, you make it very personable and fun to watch and learn! I'm going to view the rest of them and absorb as much of the Dr. Bob vibe as I can for my own sites. Like is too short to be ordinary
Great tribute. I was in the Navy, myself. All service men and women deserve our Thanks, every time we can give it to them. I don't know what to say about the 9.2 percent who 'disliked' this video, except that this is still a free country and the military helped pay for your freedom of opinion.

Once a Marine always a Marine. I still stand at attention when the Flag is Raised or lowered be it a School, Fire station or even my Parents house when I visit. I still get a lump in my throat when I hear the Hymn. I will always thank a Veteran for his service and say Semper Fi to any Marine I see in my travels.
The Corps for me is Family. They are my brothers and sisters regardless of when we served because we all were born on those Yellow foot prints raised by surrogate parents called DI's fed on stories of heroism, honor and patriotism. Sweated, Bled, Cried and laughed (when Mom and Dad weren't looking) cheered on our brothers as we learned that we are all one unit. When we crossed that Parade Deck we were Marines till the day we fall in for final inspection.
I met a Marine (Viet Nam Vet) who gave me a Business card it's an old one but says it all.

Hi Bob...
I was at Go Daddy today to attempt getting one of HWH's domains back - its at auction, was taken late 2007 and the buyer just wouldn't sale it back so I'm at the auction.
Anyhow, I decided to check out your blog, totally enjoyed the Episode #31 thanks - I ve been working on a veteran housing project that just keeps getting sidelined. Everyone wants the agency to be submissive in order to get governmental funding but that would actually lessen our ability to provide real solutions.
Our formerly homeless veterans that make up the organization are proof it works but for some strange reason - it appears the organization has been blackballed.
It may be the cause (at least thats what one congressional office said to our Board of Directors ).
Questions:
1) How does one get black balled?
2) Can you overcome being blackballed?
3) Why is a good agency, that actually provides services and have successes get black balled?
Another issue we have is although the agency has no boundaries... powers that be go out of the way to advise others throughout the US to blackball us too.
Bob, whats really baffling is that for every high position person that tries to oppress , steal, duplicate or dismantle the organization; we continue on like the energizer bunny.
If you would kindly answer my three questions - I'd be appreciative, unfortunately I can't promise I won't ask more.
I'm sorry I honestly don't know the answers to those questions. I'll post it — even though it's a bit off subject. Perhaps others might have an answer.

Grateful for the support of the UK in WW2 because without the US intervention the world as we know it would be a very dark place.
Iraq conflict showed US and UK troops not always displaying the discipline that they needed to in order to set an example to the world as a force for good, and a bonefide keeper of law and order. Poor discipline gives moral ammunition to the lawless and terrorist recruitment agencies of the world - one of the greatest threated of the moden day.

Every year I come back to see the new video posted continues to make me swell with pride. The belief in My God, My County, and My Corps will always be unfaltering and unwavering, no matter the adversity.
Bob, watching these dedications to our Marine heritage only help to strengthen my pride and reaffirm my decision to become a Marine after high school. After all there are no ex-Marines!
It's also great to see something that continues to honor those who have gone before us and those who will be carrying on our traditions long after we're gone.
When I was 5 they wanted to put me in a brace for my swayed back. When I was 8 and watching WW-2 movies they said I could never be a Marine.
But I knew in my soul there was no other, no better place to be than in the Marines.
At 17 I had a high school state record for running the mile. Syracuse Univ wanted me and I knew I could be an olympic class runner. At 18 I tore a ligament in my hip and could never run like that again. I never told the Marines, and I never missed a step.
Because nothing mattered more then or now than being a part of the proud heritage that is the United States Marine Corps.

Hey Bob,
Respectfully, Australian toops have fought on your side (US & Allies) in many of those battles. Australians are generally grateful for having such a powerful ally as the US, but more importantly that we have an ally that has similar Christian based values as us. Even today, the elite Australian SAS
are fighting Afghanistan insurgents (Taliban) with the US troops. Our two nations believe it is important to free those from tyranny. On the Perth, Western Australia RSL (Returned Services League) memorial wall, is inscribed in stone, 'FREEDOM belongs to those who are prepared to defend it'.

Mr. Bob Parsons,
I cannot thank you enough for what you had to go through during Vietnam,and all of us that served the United States of America Armed Forces to make us a Free Nation. My son just served two terms in the Marnes over in Iraq and was on the front lines, and came back whole body and mind intact. Thanks to the Lord. These are very fine clips.

Hey Bob,
Just wanted to say Thanks - so MUCH - for hosting WordCamp 2009 online for your customers to experience and learn from the featured speakers. The Camp content was excellent & informational. And also making it available again.
Awesome video. I shared it with many old friends last week. I am actually starting a new business and was in the process of buying a domain and choosing a hosting service. Needless to say that this made the differnce in my decesion. I just got off the line with your team and will get the web page and retail store up soon. Thanks for showing what is possible on the web. This is the best overall video I've seen yet. Content and quality.

Bob,
I just watched Mr. Internet show your Rules for Success. Thank you. I've had some really tough business experiences lately, from losing my brand new office building and business to eminent domain, to losing my current position because another person is taking over from outside the company. I lost my mom, my office building and a national franchise (from the eminent domain) all in the same year. It hasn't gotten much better in the three years since.
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up and I turned 45 this year! I've been in my current career for over 20 years. I loved it up until the market tanked and I lost my skivies to the wonderful highway department.
Since I don't know what I want to do I continue to look for a new venue. Your Rules were just what I needed to see at this time in my life.
Oh, BTW, thanks for your military service to my family and our country. My son is currently Active Guard Reserve and served four years in the Air Force and served in Saudi during the last Iraq Operation Iraqi Freedom. L. Key (http://www.lavetakey.com) on Nov 16 2009, 09:16am Reply

It is nice to have someone like Bob do what he is doing. When I returned to the world, in March 1968, we were treated like traitors.
I will never forget the looks I got in the airport flying home, like some sort of baby killer or something, especially by the people my own age.

Mr. Parsons:
Thank you for the wonderful birthday tribute. Although I'm seeing it for the first time today (12th), the message still motivates the hell outta me! When I joined in Jan 1985, I didn't know what I was getting into. Now, third only to Wife and Mother, it has become my identity. I've never regretted my decision to join. I've seen/witnessed things most people should never see/witness, but I've never stood prouder or poked out my chest further than when recognized as a Marine. I've worked hard the past 24 years to earn that title and have challenged myself everyday not to let down those who served before me. I only hope I have succeeded.
Thank you for that wonderful tribute and thank you for your service!

Really appreciate the birthday video, it was outstanding!

Unfortunately, I believe this country needs another generation of people who have risked their lives for freedom to get us back on track. We do now and will forever owe all we are blessed with to God and those willing to sacrifice much and rick everything defending freedom and fighting its enemies.

I turly LOVE each and everyone of them....they make me so proud that it burdens my heart to loose but one. My son is in the Army with 2 trips to the Middleeast...he is ready to go again too.
My biggest problem is when they come back..that is where our govn't fails them in a huge way...I wish I good do something about that. My opinion is that if you go to war to defend this country you have earned the right to have what was promised without question..at least that! Bless each and everyone of you past and present.

Very well done!
I am Canadian but I can certainly appreciate the personal sacrifices and incredible service that every soldier makes (and has made) to preserve democracy and our freedom.
A poll conducted a few years ago revealed that over 50% of Canadians 18 - 25 years old did not know who Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was...and were not familiar with McCrae's famous war memorial poem IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
I found this apalling (and quite frankly, embarrassing). It seemed indicative of the apathy our younger generation has towards those who have made (and those who continue to make) the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
Thank you...to all those men and women who have served and continue to serve on our behalf.
We will remember.

Thanks for the tribute and thanks for your service. As a founding member of the Mesa Veterans Parade Association, we would be honored to have your involvement in the 2010 Veterans Day Parade (and beyond). We already have plenty of older vets with attitude on board, but could sure use one with some excellent business sense and connections around town.
Thanks for the other vblogs too, you make it very personable and fun to watch and learn! I'm going to view the rest of them and absorb as much of the Dr. Bob vibe as I can for my own sites. Like is too short to be ordinary

The Corps for me is Family. They are my brothers and sisters regardless of when we served because we all were born on those Yellow foot prints raised by surrogate parents called DI's fed on stories of heroism, honor and patriotism. Sweated, Bled, Cried and laughed (when Mom and Dad weren't looking) cheered on our brothers as we learned that we are all one unit. When we crossed that Parade Deck we were Marines till the day we fall in for final inspection.
I met a Marine (Viet Nam Vet) who gave me a Business card it's an old one but says it all.

If upon finishing boot camp, the Marines had a fighting force and a peacekeepiing/nation improving force, which would you choose? In order to prevail globally the latter choice may become a real option.

I was at Go Daddy today to attempt getting one of HWH's domains back - its at auction, was taken late 2007 and the buyer just wouldn't sale it back so I'm at the auction.
Anyhow, I decided to check out your blog, totally enjoyed the Episode #31 thanks - I ve been working on a veteran housing project that just keeps getting sidelined. Everyone wants the agency to be submissive in order to get governmental funding but that would actually lessen our ability to provide real solutions.
Our formerly homeless veterans that make up the organization are proof it works but for some strange reason - it appears the organization has been blackballed.
It may be the cause (at least thats what one congressional office said to our Board of Directors ).
Questions:
1) How does one get black balled?
2) Can you overcome being blackballed?
3) Why is a good agency, that actually provides services and have successes get black balled?
Another issue we have is although the agency has no boundaries... powers that be go out of the way to advise others throughout the US to blackball us too.
Bob, whats really baffling is that for every high position person that tries to oppress , steal, duplicate or dismantle the organization; we continue on like the energizer bunny.
If you would kindly answer my three questions - I'd be appreciative, unfortunately I can't promise I won't ask more.
Merry Christmas!

Iraq conflict showed US and UK troops not always displaying the discipline that they needed to in order to set an example to the world as a force for good, and a bonefide keeper of law and order.

But I knew in my soul there was no other, no better place to be than in the Marines.
At 17 I had a high school state record for running the mile. Syracuse Univ wanted me and I knew I could be an olympic class runner. At 18 I tore a ligament in my hip and could never run like that again. I never told the Marines, and I never missed a step.
Because nothing mattered more then or now than being a part of the proud heritage that is the United States Marine Corps.

Respectfully, Australian toops have fought on your side (US & Allies) in many of those battles. Australians are generally grateful for having such a powerful ally as the US, but more importantly that we have an ally that has similar Christian based values as us. Even today, the elite Australian SAS
are fighting Afghanistan insurgents (Taliban) with the US troops. Our two nations believe it is important to free those from tyranny. On the Perth, Western Australia RSL (Returned Services League) memorial wall, is inscribed in stone, 'FREEDOM belongs to those who are prepared to defend it'.

Awesome video. I shared it with many old friends last week. I am actually starting a new business and was in the process of buying a domain and choosing a hosting service. Needless to say that this made the differnce in my decesion. I just got off the line with your team and will get the web page and retail store up soon. Thanks for showing what is possible on the web. This is the best overall video I've seen yet. Content and quality.

I just watched Mr. Internet show your Rules for Success. Thank you. I've had some really tough business experiences lately, from losing my brand new office building and business to eminent domain, to losing my current position because another person is taking over from outside the company. I lost my mom, my office building and a national franchise (from the eminent domain) all in the same year. It hasn't gotten much better in the three years since.
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up and I turned 45 this year! I've been in my current career for over 20 years. I loved it up until the market tanked and I lost my skivies to the wonderful highway department.
Since I don't know what I want to do I continue to look for a new venue. Your Rules were just what I needed to see at this time in my life.
Oh, BTW, thanks for your military service to my family and our country. My son is currently Active Guard Reserve and served four years in the Air Force and served in Saudi during the last Iraq Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It is nice to have someone like Bob do what he is doing. When I returned to the world, in March 1968, we were treated like traitors.
I will never forget the looks I got in the airport flying home, like some sort of baby killer or something, especially by the people my own age.

The "dislikes" and "had no opinion" folks are spineless, self-centered IDIOTS, that's who! They clearly would never be able to grasp the intestinal fortitude and selflessness it takes to do what Mr. Parsons, myself (a medic in the Army), my family and many others in our Armed Forces have done.

Thank you for the wonderful birthday tribute. Although I'm seeing it for the first time today (12th), the message still motivates the hell outta me! When I joined in Jan 1985, I didn't know what I was getting into. Now, third only to Wife and Mother, it has become my identity. I've never regretted my decision to join. I've seen/witnessed things most people should never see/witness, but I've never stood prouder or poked out my chest further than when recognized as a Marine. I've worked hard the past 24 years to earn that title and have challenged myself everyday not to let down those who served before me. I only hope I have succeeded.
Thank you for that wonderful tribute and thank you for your service!

As a retired FMF Corpsman, I wish to thank you for tyhis outstanding tribute, to our Marines! Serving both blue-side and green-side, during my career, I was never more proud or honored as when I was with the USMC! IF I could go back, in time, I would have skipped my fleet time and gone straight to the Corps!

Bob Parsons served this great country with great honor as a rifleman in the USMC. So certainly you can understand that he has has very special and strong feelings towards the USMC. So several years he ago he started developing an annual tribute to his (and others') beloved Corps. Although he doesn't do a Veterans Day video, he has the greatest respect and admiration for all branches of the Armed Services.
Sincerely,
Nima Jones (helping out while Bob is away)

I just want to congratulate you on the best Domain and Hosting providing company to set a trend in this great country we call America. I also want to say Happy Marine Corp Birthday to my family, friends, you, and those that died, served, and currently serving.
I just got out the Navy of 5 years (July 2004 - July 2009) onboard USS Shoup (DDG-86) out of Everett, WA. As the theme of the Marine Corp to be the few and proud; well I was a part of the few and the proud ships to be honored and named after a Marine. [http://www.shoup.navy.mil/default.aspx, http://www.navysite.de/dd/ddg86.htm, & http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/shoup.htm ]Also our new ship named after the fallen Jason Dunham (http://www.jason-dunham.navy.mil/default.aspx). As a Sailor, Airman, Soldier, Coastguard, and especially a Marine, we all know thousands sacrifice their lives.
Happy 243th Marines, Semper Fi! The tradition of the Navy and Marine Corp will live on.....

I am Canadian but I can certainly appreciate the personal sacrifices and incredible service that every soldier makes (and has made) to preserve democracy and our freedom.
A poll conducted a few years ago revealed that over 50% of Canadians 18 - 25 years old did not know who Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was...and were not familiar with McCrae's famous war memorial poem IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
I found this apalling (and quite frankly, embarrassing). It seemed indicative of the apathy our younger generation has towards those who have made (and those who continue to make) the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
Thank you...to all those men and women who have served and continue to serve on our behalf.
We will remember.
God Bless them all.

To all of the Marines (including you Bob), thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart. This American truly appreciates all you have done and all you will do for us. Thanks for keeping us safe.
I try and remind myself of the sacrifices our military makes for me every day as we all should.
I had no idea how many conflicts we have been in, wow. Appreciate the History lesson Bob.
Happy Birthday Marines!

The branch of service does not matter, the American spirit of the fighting man does matter. It is that spirit that has given Americans their Freedom.
This is a fine tribute to the Marine Corps.
