Google Celebrates Veterans Day Today (November 11, 2009) by displaying this logo on Google US homepage.
Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the following Monday is designated for holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either Saturday or Friday may be so designated. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) Read more on wiki.

The google doodle for Veterans Day 2009 makes no sense. What’s the deal with the short person on the right? Are they an adult or a child, why is their belly so puffed out? What kind of uniform is that? Why are they holding their nose? Why is there a teddy bear? And what are the two red things in front of the teddy bear?
