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 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 8:30 or the 10:45?”
