    Best pictures of 2011

    As the year is coming to an end there has been an amazing amount of great photos taken to document the stories of 2011, from the Tuscaloosa tornado's to Servicemen coming home from war to hold their children for the first time. What are some of the best pictures of 2011 in the OS communities opinion.

    For me there is this one that tugs at my heart every time I see it, and it makes me hug my dog each time as well.

    Slain Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson's dog "Hawkeye" lays next to his casket during funeral services in Rockford, Iowa. Tumilson was one of 30 American soldiers killed in Afghanistan on August 6 when their helicopter was shot down during a mission to help fellow troops who had come under fire. His dog never left his side throughout the entire time of memorial services.

              I feel this probably should go in here. It's not a picture really, unless you count it as a moving picture.

                Very nice.

                2011 has been an incredible year filled with lots of tragedy and heartache but in the midst of all that we have seen compassion of the human spirit rise to the occasion each time. Brother helping brother, neighbor helping neighbor, and the pride of our country reaching out to others in their hour of need.

                        It's odd that I find the picture with the dog by the casket more touching than the wife.

                        I see the dog picture and immediately feel like I'm going to cry

                        I see the wife picture and it's sad but it doesn't draw the same reaction.

                            These last 2 are pictures of Alberta Elementary, which was destroyed in the storm.

                              It's crazy, I thought it was a [tasteless] parody of the dog picture. Had no idea it was a real thing.
