I haven't seen this one one here yet. Please delete if its a repost.
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 the 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.
Then...
Little Alex's voice was trembling and barely audible when he asked, "Which
service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"
