One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Andrew standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. 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 little boy and said quietly: “Good morning, Andrew.”
“Good morning, Pastor,” he replied, still focused on the plaque. “Pastor, what is this?” he asked.
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 Andrew's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked: "Which service… the 8:30 or the 11:00?"
