One
Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the
church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with small
American flags mounted on either side of it. The seven year old had been staring
at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little
boy, and said quietly,
'Good morning
Alex.' 'Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque.
'Pastor, what is
this?' he asked the pastor. The pastor said, 'Well, son, it's a memorial to all
the young men and women who died in the service.'
Soberly, they just
stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little
Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked..........'Which
service, the 9:45 or the
11:15?'
