One Sunday morning the
pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that
hung in the foyer of the church. The plaque was covered with names and
small American flags were 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 boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex." "Good
morning pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque
"Pastor McGhee, 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 barely
audible when he asked, "which service, the 9:00a.m. or the 11:00a.m.?"
