With everything going on now, Covid, election year, 911 tributes cut short or canceled, I was wondering what Google would do for 9/11.

They always have some animated doodle to commemorate the 106th Birthday of the person who invented the board game "Scrabble" or somesuch thing. I thought maybe a tribute to the first responders who perished on that day.

But nothing but a teeny flag with a black ribbon. We truly are living in different times today.
The flag and loop could be bigger. Or maybe it would have been better to use one of these so it was more obvious what the reason for the flag is. And they don't have the flag linked to anything which is unusual.
