Update: One more for you–a heartbreaking reminder of the sacrifices so many American families made this year for our country.

Last week, I shared a few favorite Baghdad photos I took in January. Here are a few more noteworthy images from 2007 that I won’t soon forget:

Michael Yon’s iconic image of hope and unity in Iraq:

    My favorite is the photo by Micheal Yon.

    I noticed that it is Sir Loin’s favorite as well.

    Shiri Negari’s picture is a haunting reminder of the evil out there.

    The 9/11 morons are also a reminder that intellect is fragile, and reason elusive for many.

    Thanks for the memories Michelle. It’s been a year full of suprises. Let’s hope that 2008 makes more sense, and moonbats become an endangered species.
    Happy New Year to all!

    Powerful and disturbing pictures. The 9/11 fools really bother me. How can anyone in their right minds believe that drivel? It shows that hate (and they hate Bush) is a very powerful motivator. It has to be stopped.

    Although it is not directly related to any of the photos, since this is new year’s eve, I thought I would add this little item:
    In my office there were six of us just waiting for the work day to end and some of us are on our way to NYC for fun and crowds. So we decided to have a scientific poll of who are our favorite columnists/bloggers are in various categories. In our group there are 3 conservatives, one centrist (me) and two liberals who we tolerate. So here are the categories and votes:
    Best writer in the columnist class: four votes for George Will and one vote for William F. Buckley, Jr and one vote for (ugh) Frank Rich.
    Smartest Columnist: five votes for William F. Buckley, Jr., one vote for (triple ugh) Paul Krugman.
    Coumnist who annoys us the most: two votes for Patrick Buchanan, one vote for Maureen Dowd, one vote for Tom Friedman, two votes for Ann Coulter,
    Coumnist who is the most selfrighteous: four votes for Paul Krugman, two votes for Ann Coulter.
    Columnist we would least like to be friends with: Six votes for Robert Novak (A landslide here).
    And now is the best category:
    Coumnist we would most like to have as a friend: Six votes for Michelle Malkin and no votes for anybody else!!!!!!

    I was the campaign manager for the last category!!!

    Michelle,

    Your video 2/27/07 promoting the Gathering of Eagles got me started, and then I got to meet you on 9/15/07 at GOE3. Having my picture taken with you was such an honor. Bubba says that you are “Little Big Eagle”, and everybody knows about whatBubbaKnows.com

    Thanks Michelle… I think you are the “Greatest Little Big Eagle”.

    As far as the 9/11 conspiracy crap..my favorite quote is a anonymous one.
    “The art of thinking is deep, complex and beautiful. But easy it ain’t.” I once
    read a sci fi story about immortality and the lack of souls with no one dying.
    Seems we may have reached a similar place with brains. There were only so
    many to go around and we gone beyond that point.

    RE: The shamnesty photo above.

    Lest we forget - thanks to our host Michelle and lots of other activists, we (that’s us readers) shut down the capitol switchboard (for the first time ever??) after Michael Chertoff said about Sen. Kennedy:

    “He’s awesome,” gushed Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff , as he left a news conference announcing the bipartisan agreement. “I’d say he was one of the critical leaders in putting together this deal.”

    The ‘deal’ that would REWARD illegal aliens with precious American citizenship. I vote for Lettucehead as Jerk of the Year.

    Thanks Michelle for all your hard work this year blogging. If not for you, the folks at PJM/HotAir, and some of the other key bloggers, a lot of these stories would go unnoticed.

    RE Marine Staff Sergeant Marcus Golczynski’s funeral picture with his son and the Marine, it broke my heart. It also makes me very proud to be an American and supporter of our military. For me, it’s the most memorable picture.

    New Year’s Resolution:
    As I sat and listened to the New Year celebration in New York, I noticed they were again figuratively burning incense to John Lennon, with their secular, atheistic, unpatriotic, communistic, international anthem entitled Imagine being the climax of their celebration. Their “anthem” removes the mortar from between the bricks, and subtly and relentessly makes it impossible to pass on or defend our way of life. It is an anthem for collective suicide.

    Imagine there’s no heaven
    It’s easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today…

    Imagine there’s no countries
    It isn’t hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace…

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world…
    You may say I’m a dreamer
    But I’m not the only one
    I hope someday you’ll join us
    And the world will live as one.

    — John Lennon

    As I sit here on January 1, 2008, I say I am not, and resolve to never be part of that tribe. I do not want to go down their road of “progress” to hell (or is it “Progressive” road to the same place.

    In the place of Imagine and John Lennon, let us all never cease to remember Lenin, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Kim Jong Il, Kim Il Sung, Fidel Castro, Che Guevarra, and Pol Pot and be suspicious of other “Dreamers” and tribal chiefs — domestically and internationally — who desire the world to live together as one.

    (with thanks to a TownHall poster for helping me to choose Curtain #4, rather than keep the Box)

    Happy New Year!

    Laree –
    And I was just going to have plain ol pancakes for brunch. Now I believe I’ll make a cheese blintz, to celebrate the British “blitz”.

    Ooooh. I love it when The Sun says “OUR BOYS”, when they refer to their Soldiers. So WWII. And I like every bit of it.

    Well, I guess I had better get cracking on those blintzes.

    Great selection of pictures, Michelle. While it wasn’t the best year on record, 2007 was certainly interesting.

    One other thing that deserves tribute is Michelle’s great moments on TV this past year. An awful lot of people get their 15 minutes and then it’s ‘Exit, stage left.’ Nice to see her continuing success, and Mary K. Ham’s, as well.

    So much for the good news.

    At the risk of dissenting from the crowd, for an ‘iconic image of the war’, I thought the current one was a horrid choice.

    Yuck.

    Okay if I toss out a few fun links in the spirit of the new year?

    - I suppose you’ve heard that Little Knut, the polar bear, is dying? It’s pretty sad, really. Animal rights activists in Germany finally got him sent home to the Arctic, now that he’s all grown up, but they didn’t count on global warming.

    - If you’d rather answer some moonbat graphically, rather than textually, you might try one of these Rejoinder Pics.

    - If you like “picture stories” where the picture, itself, is the joke, then you might like my Pictorial Punchlines.

    - Someone here or on HotAir was complaining a while back about the lousy quality of videos on the web, and wondered if that was normal. Well, no.

    I would note that the instructions and tools to produce a video like the one on that page are on my web site in the Media area, last link.

    One more? Have you guys seen the R/C Hydroboat-car-airplane-lawnmower-helicopter? If you like remote control stuff, this thing looks like a total riot!

    Happy new year, y’all,
    Doc
