Google, which frequently celebrates minor holidays like Halloween with special changes to their trademark, today ignored Veteran's Day. They have noted Halloween, Google's 8th Anniversary, Persian New Year, Martin Luther King Day & the World Cup, among other holidays this year. Veteran's Day is meaningless to them.
Today is Veteran's Day. Nov. 11. Used to be Armistice Day. Then changed to Vet's Day on different day. Then officially moved back to the date of Armistice Day. 11-11.
Yesterday was the Marine Corp birthday. 231 years.
Semper Fi
They're demoncrats, what do you expect?
Time to dump Google.
Thanks for the tip!!!
Now I can vet companies I work for or buy from!
YES!
I can't find any contact info on the Google site. No simple email address to which I can write to complain.
Plenty of info for those who want to advertise though.
Anybody know where I can find the picture of the sailor kissing the nurse, with all the 'Rats in the background?
The Google boys are sick moonbats.
Yahoo.com has nothing either.
Tet1968 (and yes, I do remember it), I have a book to recommend to you which may add perspective, Geoff Dyer's "The Missing of the Somme" (1994). It's not so much about the First World War as it is about the function of memory, and how that changes over time.
First, he talks about presumptive memory, how one will wish to be remembered in the future (Rupert Brooke's forward looking "If I should die, think only this of me..."); then comes current, living memory, and the rituals which accompany it (ie., how the British nation observed the two-minute silence very seriously right after the war). Then, as time moves on, memory inevitably becomes second or third hand, as time inevitably breaks it down - statues are seen, rituals are sometimes observed, but people forget why if they do not have the first-hand memory.
It's a very interesting book.
Yup. Just checked both google and Dogpile. I remember the Halloween tribute on google. No longer will I be googling, I'm Dogpiling from now on.
Google did just relocate to Ann Arbor. Should tell you something.
There's a postal address and phone and fax numbers, but as you say no email address.
To be honest I see their point in no longer publishing an email address - I guess they are were swamped with emails moaning about this or that, my site is ranked lower than somebody else's, they favour this politician over that, Christmas logos, a logo for this but not a logo for that etc etc
By having people stump up the cost of a stamp or the cost of a call, they are at least weeding out those who like complaining just for the sake of it. For this type of person, email is a dream come true.
Who really cares if they don't support our veterans. Should all websites have some type of graphic on their homepage showing support for our veterans?
This is simply petty.
Do you use the toolbar from ask.com??
They're not going to have anything about Veteran's Day on Monday either, just like FReepers were waiting like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin hoping that Google would have something on the official Memorial Day.
Veteran's Day is celebrated and remembered by millions of Americans who have not forgotten the sacrifices made by our troops. If some left-wing website doesn't celebrate it with some cheesy cartoon graphic, who cares?
No, but it is one of the search engines I have set up in Firefox.
As we know. Google is liberals and liberals hate our military. We hate Google.
how?
They didn't commemorate 9/11.
