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