They have manifested themselves several times against this, and not showing a special logo to honor those that decided to risk their lives and lost them is one more of their manifestations. Nothing wrong with that. If you decide to jump with parachutes and it doesnt open, its your problem, you chose to risk. Going to the war is THE SAME, so no need for a special logo there.

So is MLK day, Mother’s Day, and several other holidays but Google has done logos for them..

I know it’s two years later, and they finally have added something on Memorial Day but it’s not a logo change.

While many country's have their own Google site - google.ca, google.co.uk, etc., many people from around the world still choose to use google.com. I certainly don't expect Google to show a special logo for Rememberance Day, which is the equivalent of Memorial Day in Canada, but I do find it nice that they recognize events celebrated around the world, such as Mother's Day.

How about their marking of Remembrance Day? They're full of bull. They found a good excuse for not marking the day. How about their marking of Remembrance Day? They’re full of bull.
