It’s Memorial Day today, and in a clear disregard to the sacrifice of millions of Americans that served or serve in the military, Google did not create a special ‘doodle’ to honor them.
That’s right.
Google may add ‘doodles’ about French comedians, German scientists and Polish artists that died 20-75 years ago and still wish them through an unfitting “happy birthday” note that does not apply to the dead, but they won’t honor the American soldiers that served – and died – so that we can enjoy life.
Shame on Google for being no better than a Russian or Chinese search engine on this Memorial Day.
Visit Bing.com to see how things should look like today.
Update: Google has finally added a small flag with a yellow ribbon. Apparently, it took a lot of complaints to add just that.
