Nov. 11 (UPI) — Google saluted those who have served in the U.S. armed forces with a new Doodle on Veterans Day Friday.
Created by Diné and Marine Corps veteran Monty Little, the artwork features a 3D paper sculpture of a red, white and blue American flag.
Each letter of the word “Google” also is decorated with different patterns of camouflage worn by members of the military, “representing how integral our veterans are to the fabric of our nation,” according to the company’s website.
“Thank you to all those who have protected our country.”
