You’ll have to settle for a pathetically small 42 by 42 pixel image of a yellow ribbon overlaid on an American flag. And unlike the Google doodles for obscure birthdays and anniversaries, the itty bitty flag sits below the search box.
Not surprising from a company that celebrated the invention of Tetris on the anniversary of D-Day:
@JennQPublic @google They do this shit every year — they're disgusting. This is their worst offense — > newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-t…—

@keder @RyTep Google can create a feature-legnth animation for the inventor of the zipper but all our troops get is a mini-flag pin?—

Why is it that for every stupid day that no one cares about, Google does a big Google doodle but on Memorial Day …nothing? #fail—

It really aggravates me how #Google does a doodle for the dumbest possible days, but they can't do one for Memorial Day. You guys suck.—

Here’s a look at Google’s priorities:
How come Memorial Day doesnt get a big elaborate google doodle, just a tiny pin. Meanwhile on National Hat Day, there's a video/game doodle.—

Google puts up a huge doodle for Moogs B-day. They put a US Flag the size of a pinky nail below the search bar for Memorial Day?—

Google can make a fully functioning synthesizer for some dude's birthday, but only displays a tiny flag for Memorial Day? #thanksveterans—

Okay,Google, you'll go all out for the birthday of the inventor of post-its, but for Memorial Day you just have a tiny flag & yellow ribbon?—

Google has flashing lights, music, and interactive turntables when it's some deadbeat's birthday but on Memorial Day, a microscopic flag?—

Google execs may not find it important to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom, but millions of Americans do.
America’s fallen heroes have our endless respect and gratitude. Their sacrifices will not be forgotten.
