I was watching the news last night, they did a short story of all the top stories of 2003, I would have to say the most memorable story for me was the Explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia on re entry over Az., New Mexico and Texas!

Besides all the GOOD news on the war front, the most memorable (and still unsolved) story for me has to be the disappearance and whereabouts of Dru Sjodin.

There were so many stories. With the war, I almost forgot about the Columbia tragedy.

My other two would be the announcement that we were invading Iraq and then that we captured Saddam Hussein.

I actually did a thread about this a few weeks ago when I was looking to hear what opinions about the best stories of the year.

My top 3 are probably
{not in any particular order}

The Columbia Tragedy, Jessica Lynch, and the Blackout..

If you want to see my top 10 list of in my opinion the top 10 stories of the year..

"Shock and Awe" is #1 for me.

"Meine gnadige Frau spricht!"

Thse are Debi's three picks...

a) The capture of Saddam

b) The fall of Baghdad, and

c) PFC Jessica Lynch, with all permutations thereof.

I guess I'm a little different: Hurricane Isabel. It went right over me as a tropical strorm.

Definitely a few weeks ago when Saddam was caught. However, the COlumbia tragedy on Feb. 1 is a close second.

Columbia, Shock and Awe, and the capture of Saddam, and his brothers (earlier).

That's what I thought, I went back 3 pages and couldn't find it, thought, "Well, maybe I just *thought* there was!"

Another big story, the Southern Calif Wildfires.......shades of things to come for us this coming fire season I'm afraid

The Columbia tragedy since it happened right over my head, Me and the family was headed to Canton Tx when it happened and saw it as it passed over.
