Memorial Day — I think that Google forgot!
Posted on May 26th, 2008 In my own particular idiom Claire
The more things change the more they stay the same. This was the scenario from last year — both Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day were completely ignored by Google. I think it’s time for me to go through and get rid of my Google products. I got rid of Blogspot, now I need to get rid of Picasa, Google search, Google Analytics and anywhere else I see the big G. I appreciate Yahoo’s attention to this Holiday.
The Thunder Run has posted screen shots of both major search engines, take a peek, but you won’t be surprised.
And if you write to Google…they respond…with pathetic double speak. I’ve tried…more than once. Ingrates.
Noticed this yesterday when doing a quick search. Normally I look forward to the creative Google graphics, and was most surprised to see nothing. Think I’ll use Ask Jeeves in the future. Stryker Brigade News has a Stryker Memorial Page posted today. Our sincere thanks to all who have served, past and present, as well as thanks to the families who stand in loving support.
Waiting~anticipating…….
I didn’t notice this until just now. That’s just odd on their part…
It is a very intentional overlook. If you go to zombietime.com she had a contest for people to design a Google sign for the day… some really nice ones have been done! The sad part — they will go out of their way to change the background of their page for Earth Day, but not so much as a “thank you” “kiss my booty” or nothing on Memorial or Veteran’s Day. I am sure they will argue that they are not biased… what a bunch of garbage.
Google doesn’t do a Memorial Day “doodle” because a huge percentage of their employees hates the U.S. and especially hates our military.
I’m not blowing this out my backside. I worked at Google. I tolerated the political culture of that company. Read my latest blog entry for my thoughts on Google’s snubbing of Memorial Day.
“— both Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day were completely ignored by Google.”
Google DID to a doodle last Veteran’s day. You just missed it.

I didn’t realize they did do one last year. That’s good. I wonder if they plan on keeping it up since it was the first time they had done anything for it (I am sorry but I find it disheartening that Munch’s Birthday was recognized before Veteran’s Day ever was. It’s nice that they did it…. I guess I just don’t understand why Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day has been ignored in years past (with the exception of the first Veteran’s Day art from last year.)?
