Dec. 8, 2009 — -- Compiling a list of the top stories of a decade is never an easy task, and limiting 10 years to just 100 "top" or "most memorable" moments invariably leads to second guessing.

The ABCNews.com list is not meant as a definitive chronicle, but more of a guide through the stories and moments that shaped our lives during the decade. There are certainly many more that are just as deserving and influential.

For more, check out ABCNews.com's complete End of Decade section.

Now that you've seen our list of top stories of the decade, feel free to tell us what we missed.

What about the tragic death of wrestler Chris Benoit and his family? The SARS scare? Dick Cheney's shooting mishap? And of course, what about Balloon Boy?

Did we over-emphasize some stories? Which of our choices would you remove from your list?

Just go to the comments section on this page and tell us what you think of our list, what events we missed, which ones were the most moving in your life.

We'll take a representative sample and post them on the site to give you a chance to tell us what the decade means to you.

And feel free to offer your hopes or expectations for the next 10 years!
