Google is being taken to task for its Memorial Day doodle which many say is disrespectful to the sacrifices of our Veterans.

For those not in the know, Google regularly decorates its homepage with illustrations as a way to mark important events or days, such as holidays, major sporting events, and celebrity birthdays.

So, for instance, one might see Christmas lights on the homepage on Christmas Day, or football helmets on Super Bowl Sunday.

While these are usually elaborately decorated, that was unfortunately not the case for Memorial Day. Instead of fun illustrations, we simply got the world “Google” printed in gray.

Many people are calling Google

out for this, saying that they could have put more effort into creating a doodle to honor our

, who sacrifices so much so that we could be free.

One Twitter user even went so far as to say that it was “sheer disrespect.”

Others pointed out that Google put so little thought into creating a doodle for Memorial Day, but will be more than happy to create elaborate doodles for “pride month” or other days commemorating leftist causes.

Now to be fair, if you hover the cursor over the doodle, it does mention Memorial Day and if you click on it, it gives you information about the holiday, meaning that this was the Memorial Day doodle, but more effort still could have gone into it.

Why not put American flags, or a sketch of a soldier’s helmet as a way to honor our veterans? Google clearly has the capacity to do something simple like this, as it has produced some spectacular doodles in the past.

Why have they not decided to do the same for Memorial Day? If you look at a list of some of the past doodles, you realize that they put more effort into doodles for the birthdays of obscure artists and authors and for a federal holiday.

This also underscores the fact that many Americans do not properly understand what Memorial Day really is. It is not just a long weekend and an excuse for a cookout, it is a day of remembrance and mourning, and appreciation for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could be free.

These Veterans gave their lives for us, and they deserve much better than this hastily put-together doodle.
