Once again, Google shows their bias. Apparently they're too busy buying 767's to pay attention to the Veterans.

I was about to post on the exact same subject -- I had just checked Google to see if they would have anything for Veterans Day -- but I did a search and found your post. Thanks for expressing what I was thinking...

Google's high-ups are lefties. It pains me everytime I use their web services, unfortunately their's is currently the best.
On a happier note, Thank you!!

You're probably "blowing this up" way out of proportion.

"Google's special logos tend to be lighthearted in nature. If we were to commemorate Veterans Day, we would want to express reverence, rather than mirth. This would be a particularly challenging design. We would not want to, in any way, create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful."
I think they're right. You want a quirky, funny logo for Veterans Day? Something similar to this Valentine's Day thing? No. The occasion is too solemn and rises above cutesy banners.

Nice reply to Google but you forgot the service I served in: The United States Coast Guard.
On September 27, 1942, a group of diminutive landing craft sped toward the beaches of Guadalcanal. Huddled on shore, and fighting for their lives, were about 500 men of COL Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller's 1st Battalion, 7th Marines. Earlier that day, the same group of landing craft had put the Marines on the beach; now they were returning to extract them. As the LCVPs (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) and LCMs (Landing Craft, Mechanized) reached the shore, Coast Guard Signalman 1st Class Douglas Munro steered his LCVP between the evacuating Marines and the Japanese. By interposing his craft between the men on the beach and the enemy, Munro allowed the landing craft to safely evacuate all the Marines, including the wounded.

Is July 4th is internationally celebrated as Independence Day?
To: BikerNYC
BTW, you've committed the fallacy of the "False Dilemma", or the "Excluded Middle".
The alternative to no recognition at all isn't necessarily something demeaning.

Yes, and I admit I didn't even finish reading the original post and thus missed Google's response. The funny thing is I've actually heard it before but forgot.

A dog. A dog with its paw over its heart. It's too gimmicky for me. In fact it pisses me off.
