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 them.

The Memorial Plaque
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," replied the boy,
still focused on the plaque.
"Pastor, what is this? "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,
trembling with fear, when he asked,
"Which service, the 8:30 or the 11:00?"
