Died In Service
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer
of the church
staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with small American
flags 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 little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex." "Good
morning Pastor,"
he replied, still focused on the plaque.
"Pastor, what is this?" he asked the pastor. The pastor said, "Well, son,
it's a memorial to
all the young men and women who died in the service."
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally,
little Alex's voice,
barely audible and trembling with fear, asked, "Which service, the 8:30 or
the 10:45"
Another grandmother email. :D
