I am a big Stephen Ambrose fan but more-over this is one of my Favorites in my WWII folder of my YouTube acct.

Seein the  tough old guys interviewed ,but starting by introducing each w/ their photos from age they were approximately around timeframe of the Expeditionary Force landings chokes me up every time.

To my knowledge, the company I work for did not change their website yesterday to commemorate D-Day, did yours?

Is anyone going to boycott Google due to this serious infraction? 

Did anyone boycott Google due to the last 5 years of this serious infraction?

My company doesn't update their homepage to commemorate historical events and people.  Google does, they have something almost every day.  But not D Day

Doubt it.  I am not.  I don't see it as a "serious infraction".  I see it as a very strange omission to what Google normally does.  I just found it very odd and telling that Google has something almost every day on their home screen...today it was women's soccer, but on the 75th anniversary of D Day, nothing.

Google can do whatever they want with their website.  I really don't care, but I would love to know why the omit D Day, there has to be a reason?

I was thinking maybe they don't want to "celebrate" the massacre. But it seems strange that they post something for other tragic events (ie 9/11 & Pearl Harbor) but not D Day.


Over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy. This figure includes over 209,000 Allied casualties, with nearly 37,000 dead amongst the ground forces and a further 16,714 deaths amongst the Allied air forces.

I did that and see It.  It’s a small graphic with no link.  Still pretty weak.

Wonder why they only show it on the google.com screen.  I see all kinds of other crap on my google homepage that the google commemorates
