Anybody that knows more than a little bit about Google will know that they take pride in going off the beaten and predictable path. So yes, their "doodles" are going to often surprise you and commemorate the birthday of some obscure zoologist or the Independence Day of some African country you never heard of. What they aren't going to do is put up the same tired cliched images that you would expect on the "traditional holidays."
It's just Google being Google. Founded by a couple of overgrown kids who still roller blade around campus and come up with wacky concepts like geeky looking glasses that record video and cars that drive themselves. Sometimes their wacky ideas work and sometimes they don't. But they aren't afraid to shun the conventional and dare to be different.
Plus, they are billionaires many times over and really couldn't care less that some of us get our panties in a twist because they didn't come up with a special doodle for Memorial Day.
so you don’t think is says a lot that they ignore virtually every Christian-related holiday and patriotic holiday?
Actually, Google kept it simple and understated with a nice American flag and yellow ribbon image below the search. Pretty tasteful.
But seriously, who cares?
