The service:
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 boy had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside him, 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?"
