I guess Google forgot

I guess Google forgot that it is Memorial Day today.

Usually when I go to google to do a search on any given day, the google logo will represent some "event of the day". Most times it is to celebrate something obscure. It has even celebrated some communist events.

But, after reading this article Does Google hate America? I guess anything regarding the people defending the freedom that google not only enjoys but demands is a no go.

Well if Google has nothing to say to our Veterans especially the ones we lost, then I will say it

THANKS

    There's a little image -- about the size of an icon -- under the Google search box. It's a flag with a yellow ribbon on it.

    Those two Pansy Twats like many who share their beliefs are quick to enjoy the freedoms others sacrificed their lives for, but when it comes to honoring or acknowledgement then they seem to go out of their way to avoid the issue...

    I have two classic words for them, they begin with F and Y..

      Google is an international company and Memorial Day is a US holiday. I was please to see the flag and yellow ribbon displayed - and if you put your mouse on it you'll see "Memorial Day 2015".

      At 10 am this morning I stood in a local cemetery with about 100 people as an 80 yr old veteran spoke, veterans representing the various services fired a salute with their rifles and a vet played taps on his trumpet. This was in a town so small there's only one caution light...and this same sort of service occurred in small towns across the country. It doesn't matter what Google - or Yahoo - or Bing - does....it matters that I thanked veterans today.

      A young local minister said a prayer - and no one complained. Just before the short service began about 30 motorcycles roared in - it's a veterans' bike club. That part was new to me - and I loved it!

      This ceremony was in a small town - and the bikers and military veterans had a 20-30 minute ceremony... then they go to the next town and do the same at 11 am and then two more towns at noon and at 1 PM. They are a dedicated group of veterans - from several wars.

      We got home in time for me to do my volunteer hour at the animal foundation's "hound walk". Then I baked a German Chocolate cake and made deviled eggs. My work today is done! Son is going to grill huge shrimp - daughter-in-law is roasting veggies, making salad, etc.

      I'm going to eat as much as I can - and will probably wimp out early tonight. But what a great day it's been.

      January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
      So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

    Well, at least, THESE PEOPLE didn't forget: Americans gave their lives to defeat the Nazis. The Dutch have never forgotten. - The Washington Post

    For 70 years, the Dutch have come to a verdant U.S. cemetery outside this small village to care for the graves of Americans killed in World War II.

    On Sunday, they came again, bearing
    Memorial Day bouquets for men and women they never knew, but whose 8,300 headstones the people of the Netherlands have adopted as their own.
