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 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, who
was 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 9:30 or the 11:00?" |
