In keeping with its tradition of snubbing all things patriotic, Google completely ignores Flag Day and the U.S. Army’s birthday. Can’t celebrate any of those pesky patriotic holidays now, can it? Diversity! Citizens of the world and stuff!
I suppose Google is so international now days they can't say anything about Flag day, which is today.

Unless the diversity includes being proud of America. That does not suit.
Twitter users express their disgust at Google.
@Talkmaster Google not commemorating Flag Day on their home page? Don't want to offeeeeeend anyone!

So now this year, Army birthday, Flag Day, Memorial Day, and DDay not important enough to warrant a @google doodle. #facepalm

If only the US flag had been drawn by an obscure European cartoonist, we might have a Google doodle about Flag Day.

Stop bitterly clinging to your patriotism, rubes!
Why doesn't Google do a special logo for Flag Day? not important enough?
— Daniel Dessinger (@danieldessinger) June 14, 2012
Exactly. It, and every other holiday that honors America and its exceptionalism, is not important to Google.
But, some good news: You can head over to Bing ™ instead.
Great Flag Day cover, @Bing.

Bing has beautiful tribute to Flag Day on their home page. Google didn't change their logo to honor Flag Day or Army's B-day. #sodisgusted

After opening Bing and smiling at their Flag Day pictorial I had to check Google to see what they did. Of course the answer is….nothing.

(o.O) i expected Google to have a cool FLAG DAY home page… disappointed… but BING has a beautiful picture up today!!!

Once again, @Bing has a nice pic up for Flag Day. @Google – not so much. Can someone get them a calendar w/days like this marked?

Bing ™ realizes the importance of honoring America and Old Glory, even if Google executives do not.
