Don't you know Americans are too sensitive to deal with horrors of war...we must stay focused on pop culture and fluff. To paraphrase Barbara Bush (gag): We cannot allow these things to disturb our minds.

A drawing about D-Day on the Google home page would not intrude on anybody's sensitivities. It's not like they would show charred corpses or people getting limbs blown off.

None listed in the Google Doodle archive for this year either.

What's it look like?

I don't think they did one until 2009. And since then I believe it's been an image of a yellow ribbon.

So given that, it's unlikely that they would do one for D-Day.
