[AP SCOOP] Space Shuttle Columbia Will Be Visible In San Francisco Area (6AM Pacific)

[God luvs America]

I will NEVER forget that thread...I was on it after I woke up...read from post #13 through the rest of the first page- amazing...

the other thread I’ll never forget is the soldier in Iraq who started the thread immediately after President Bush flew out of Baghdad after making a secret trip to Iraq to visit the troops on Thanksgiving about six years ago....he was an hour ahead of the media and people here thought he was nuts...hands down the best thread on Freep I ever saw....

You know that thread [AP SCOOP] Space Shuttle Columbia Will Be Visible In San Francisco Area (6AM Pacific) was the only one I've every seen some complimentary comments to on over at DU. That' was one moment we all came together if only briefly.
