Yeah, why bother commemorating the greatest invasion of mankind to destroy an empire hell-bent on world domination. They do it for Veteran's Day and Independence Day, why not Memorial Day and D-Day?
Check them out, they do it more than just for tech stuff. http://www.google.com/doodles/finder/2011/All%20doodles

And that is putting you very close to the exit here.
Leave the spot corrections to the staff. And tread lightly.

It's about respect and recognition. Clearly the the Google doodle dept. lacks both of those when it comes to the military. They find it more appropriate to pay tribute to drive-ins and obscure French photographers and the like. Stupid hipsters.

The creation of the drive-in is a break through? I spent a great night with my wife at a drive-in, but it cannot compare to one of the most important events in the history of the free world. You really can't compare drive-ins to D-Day, and that is really the point of this thread.

As an alternative to Google, I use https://ixquick.com/ - they do not record your IP address and provide secure searches.
Just saying...
